Lyrics
[Intro] [Hydraulic Clamps & Clanging Iron]
Grapple arm locked on booster stage three
Another graveyard shift above the sea
[Verse 1] [Heavy Clanking Beat & Deep Bass]
Old Soviet rocket hulls from ninety-two
Dead solar panels drifting in the blue
My orbital tugboat is rusted and scratched
With fifty thousand salvage missions matched
Welding torch sparks fly into the void
Turning space junk into profit deployed
[Pre-Chorus] [Bluesy Guitar Lick & Snare]
Earth rotates thirty thousand feet down
While I clean the rubbish from the orbital town
[Chorus] [Heavy Blue-Collar Industrial Groove]
Hooking dead satellites out of Low Earth Orbit
Catch the floating titanium and absorb it
Blue-collar spaceman working for the pay
Clearing the highways for a better day
Cut the metal, drag the payload home
Sweat in the helmet beneath the dome
[Verse 2] [Distorted Bass & Percussion]
Found an old spy bird with a broken dish
Not quite the goldmine that I used to wish
Strap it to the winch, load it in the bay
Twelve more tons to haul away today
[Bridge] [Industrial Metal Solo & Gritty Shouts]
Somebody's gotta take the garbage out
That's what orbital sanitation is about
From geosynchronous down to the low
We keep the shipping lanes ready to go
[Chorus] [Full Heavy Funk Climax]
Hooking dead satellites out of Low Earth Orbit
Catch the floating titanium and absorb it
Blue-collar spaceman working for the pay
Clearing the highways for a better day
Cut the metal, drag the payload home
Sweat in the helmet beneath the dome
[Outro] [Hydraulic Release & Radio Click]
Payload secured...
Heading to the scrapyard station.
[Fade Out]
[End]
