Graduated from high school
Top of my class
Went to a college upstate
Huh huh
Tapped a lot of ass
Got one’s hand in marriage
Three kids, were middle class
On our way to Disney World
Here's my boarding pass

“That doesn’t look right, Dad, the engine is smoking”
I tell him not to worry
It's not the engines that keep us floating
Hug him for the last time
This is how I’m coping

Wake up, Commander
Things are not as they seem
A glimpse of what could have been
This is just a dream

We have much further to go
It’s time for the next leap
Now put on your headset
And go back to sleep

There is something abnormal crawling in the vents
An inescapable monster that never relents
I escaped worse on earth, no time to lament
Fear is just just fascism, that's all you represent

Come out and fight me, I’m standing right here
I’d rather be dead than a prisoner of fear
My guts hit the floor
It’s the final thing I hear

Wake up, Commander
Things are not as they seem
A glimpse of what could have been
This is just a dream
