laika

floating in the sky in the atmosphere
i try to find old Pluto from here
and the dogs keep barking out my name
but i'm no magician like David Blaine

when can i come back down to Earth
tell me when you learn how much i'm worth
i've intertwined my body with the stars
so i'm spinning on and on through the dark

it's forever the third of november
i can never come back home, i'm all alone
i'm all alone

fiction was too late to try and save me
i follow the constellations in my orbit
trying to call out to the other sputniks
my heartbeats keep steady at 103

it's forever the third of november for me
i can never come back home, i'm all alone
i'm all alone...
