lyrics

One small step for man
One giant leap for man's mind
The infinite search for the key to man's life
For a path that feels right
To ensure he leaves something behind
After all, what really happens when a man dies
~~~
There's 5 maybe 6 of us
7 maybe 10 of us
Maybe they should send a bus for us

We've been stuck behind these walls
For 7 years without a doubt
Anton, you've got to let us out

We need a change of clothes
The echoes behind these walls
Are driving us insane, please let us out

20 maybe 23
There could be 34 of us
Maybe they should send a bus for us

The last thing I remember
Is embracing sweet surrender
Anton, you've got to let us out

20 maybe 23
There could be 34 of us
Maybe they should send a bus for us

It's dull in here at times I've found
They are the most peculiar crowd
Then suddenly, we all begin to sing

Nobody speaks a word to me
But we harmonise like sand and sea
(This is where we'll be)

So many different tones collide
I'll be here til' the day I die
(This is where we'll be)

One day the new ones will arrive
The cycle will be realised
(This is where we'll be)

This is where we'll be (x 4)

61, maybe 76
There could be 88 of us
I don't know why I put up such a fuss
