Prophet six zero zero nine one

This is the flight number of our galactic sun

Prophet six zero zero nine one

Before we start you should know that you're not the only one

This is the serial number of our orbital gun

You better be sure before you leave me for another one

You can hurt me

I can hurt you

You can hurt me

I can hurt you

But you better be sure before you leave me for another one...

I can hurt you

You can hurt me

But you better be sure before you leave me for another one...
