Step back to the tranquility base,nand wonder why anyone wouldnSpend an entire lifetime on Earth.nIt seems ridiculous that we shouldnnHave to breathe in that air,nhave to have not a care in the world.nBut that world is the one that I long to leave...nnStep back to the facenof the planet that seems so cruel.nThat forces you to feign happiness,nwhen the moon is so beautiful...nnAt those meaningless books I'll stare.nAnd tell everyone how I've not a carenIn the world where real joy can be so rare.nnAnd why anyone would wantnto live here is beyond me...nWhy anyone would want tonspend their days and nights in indifference or worry.
