Escape from the Prison Planet Track

I ran into the shuttlebay as fast as I could
it was a matter of seconds, as I well understood
The ship around us destructing,
in the pod we made our escape
the four of us, all from the same place
and noone in any great shape

So I got what I wanted, but how far will I go?
The future shrouded in darkness
there's just no way to know
In the pod with me the vicar, the big blonde boy and the cook
twiddling our thumbs and killing time
by taking turns to read out loud
passages from the vicar's holy book

Maybe someone will find us, or
maybe we're better off_dead
Maybe we'll reach some distant shore
or end up in a black hole instead
Our predicament is dire
no cause for celebration
out of fuel, we're drifting rubbish
unknown stars our destination
