Sleightrack Reentry

Fluorescent tubes and styrofoam cups

We watch the green lines on the grid go up

Paper hats on headsets,

blinking lights

We're keeping watch on this cold winter night

Tracking a target that we didn't design

No titanium rocket on this dotted line

Just red and gold sweeping across the deep

While the rest of the world has fallen asleep

(shhh...) And the room goes quiet on the floor As he clears

the last checkpoint and starts to soar Turn your eyes to the

blue, he's heading home (ooh yeah) No one tonight

has to be alone

No booster fire,

just a silver streak

Every console holding its breath,

unique He's turning toward Earth,

clearing the gray (hallelujah)

And the room goes quiet on the floor As he clears the

last checkpoint and starts to soar Turn your eyes to the blue,

he's heading home (heading home,

yeah) No one tonight

has to be alone

Heading home (safe travels tonight) Mission Control

signing off (hallelujah,

merry Christmas)
