From Atari Champ's 2003 CD Nostalgia

lyrics

2010 the year he left earth
Since then no one has heard
From him, no contact at all
Earth and sky have all disappeared
And all that's left is dark and fear

He's the astronaut in the solo craft
He's regretting his choice to volunteer
Spinning circles in an asteroid belt
Is not what he'd prefer

Left alone cold but still alive
Far from home he dreams of those blue skies
Only hope is left behind his eyes
Constellations passing by
Without wings but still he flies

Constellations passing by
Without wings but still he flies
He's the astronaut in the solo craft
He's regretting his choice

He's the astronaut in the solo craft
He's regretting his choice to volunteer
Spinning circles in an asteroid belt
Is not what he'd prefer
