Albert 1-5

They didn’t ask to be a part of the mission
They’ve never fathomed life among the stars
And they were made to live among the brush and the branches
But they couldn’t fight the sleep inside our darts, shooting darts
And they rolled away, their hands wrapped round the bars, metal bars
Words are like the highest fruits in the tree tops
Just too high and just outside their reach
They can’t even say a simple «yes» or a «no»
As we strapped them down into the captain’s seat, captain’s seat
They were bound and shackled down around their feet
They are the captive captains
And none of them will make it out alive
They are the captive captains
Hurled into the mystery at the speed of light
They are the primal pioneers, the unsung heroes
They are Albert 1 through 5
Albert 1 through 5, up in the sky
They didn’t ask to be part of the mission
They’ve never given any thought to life on Mars
But when the fire burned bright as the sun down below them
A smokey river whisked them to the stars, to the stars
And they rolled away inside those metal bars
They are the captive captains
And none of them will make it out alive
Oh, they are the captive captains
Hurled into the mystery at the speed of light
Oh, they are the primal pioneers, the unsung heroes
They are Albert 1 through 5
Albert 1 through 5, oh up in the sky
Ooo the moons of Jupiter, always on the rise
Ooo the blooms of bamboo shoots, reaching for the sky
Who could know the weightlessness of nothing left to fight?
Who is moving upwards through the trees until there’s nothing left to climb?
Albert 1 through 5
Every year feels just a little faster
Another trip around and round the closest sun
And there’s no ground to drag my feet on
Can we go a little slower?
Deep into the mystery I’m flung
We are the captive captains
And none of us will make it out alive
Oh, we are the captive captains
Hurled into the mystery at the speed of light
Oh, we are the primal pioneers, the unsung heroes
We are Albert 1 through 5
Albert 1 through 5
Albert 1 through 5
Albert 1 through 5
