Lyrics:

For fifty-five days I've been flying around the worldDidn't anybody know, didn't anyone supposeThat my life up here was slowly drifting byAnd all I've got to do is sit and cryThe Earth is so clear and it's simply a reach awayI just had to laugh today but the news it seemed to sayThat my life once full was surely running dryI prayed a while but then I had to cryLook in my eyes - I knowThat man is surely just a manIt's no surprise - I knowThe road is far too longAnd life too short to carry onFor fifty-five days I've been flying around the worldHere in syncopated time, while my tangled web of rhymeDangles aimlessly, time drips slowly byAnd all I've got to do is sit and cryLook in my eyes - I knowThat man is surely just a manIt's no surprise - I knowThe road is far too longAnd life too short to carry on
