SOLITUDE UNITES US
One man alone in a satellite,
by his own decision,
in almost complete
seclusion from the world.
For 15 minutes every
second week he
has contact with another
satellite when their
orbits meet, with a
man not there by
free will and with death
as his only alternative.
Obviously they have nothing but
solitude in common.

Though you ruled
the human race
Now convicted and
under constraint
“On your knees
and try to stay alive”
A solar asylum

Left my life for empty space
selfeffacement is my dark retreat
“On your feet and try to live your life”
A solar asylum

Is this heaven?
In orbit we are

One man’s lesser evil
Please contact me now
Still in there

Just a brief distraction
“Got no time to waste today”

We’re all alone
Don’t be afraid

We’re so alone in this silent world
Year after year just like a moon
Around the world but still at home
There’s no way out
Don’t be afraid

There’s nothing out there for us anymore

We never meet we never know
Solitude unites us

Talk to me criminal…

15 minutes today
In orbit we are
Who can know who you are?

Please contact me now
Still in there

Just a brief distraction
“Got no time to waste today”
