Skylar was looking through Matt's notes and found the title of this song among a bunch of other mumbo jumbo, and loved the cynical truth behind it. So we wrote it about the space station, Skylab, falling out of orbit and crashing on a cow, which always fucking sucks.
lyrics
Skylab,
launched aboard a Saturn V rocket, in the year Nineteen Seventy Three,
was America's first attempt at long term lodging in space.
As it turns out, it looked destined to fail from the beginning,
as it lost one of it's solar panels during liftoff, leaving the other jammed,
however it's first crew fought hard to save it, preforming the first ever major repair conducted in space,
(some things are just destined to fall)
and as a result of their success,
nine pioneering men lived and worked aboard it for a total of one hundred and seventy three days, and conducted ninety four seperate experiments to further our understanding of the cosmos, and ourselves within it.
(some things are just destined to fall)
Plans were made to boost the station to a higher orbit, and lengthen it's lifespan,
however, none came to fruition, leaving it to fall back to Earth on July Eleventh, Nineteen Seventy Nine,
supposedly impacting a lone cow near Perth, Australia. Man what a bummer.
