Lyrics

Skylab1979

Skylab [?] it falls down

Tethered satellite object earthbound

Target [?]

Sci-fi fantasy object in real life

[Chorus]

Spaceship tearing apart in the sky

Ninetee-ee-ee-een seventy-y-y-y nine

Skylab down

Helmet on

No defense

No protection for me

Skylab [?] it falls down

Spraying propellant and [?]

[Chorus]

Spaceship tearing apart in the sky

Ninetee-ee-ee-een seventy-y-y-y nine

Skylab down

Helmet on

No defense

No protection for me

Skylab down

Target on

Say your prayers

Thеre's no protection for me
