The Nostromo Burn

[Intro — monolog, vocoder voice] May-day, May-day. Calls for communication, this is commercial towing vehicle The Nostromo, registration number one–eight–oh–niner–two–four–six–oh–niner. May-day, may-day. [Verse 1] Hull number on the door Rust on the loading bay Old freight in the dark And the crew keeps moving anyway Cold hands on the rails Bootsteps on painted steel Six floors of metal sleep And a profit they can feel [Pre-Chorus] Run the checks Seal the locks Count the names Watch the clocks Something's wrong In the hold Hear that thud Down below [Chorus] The Nostromo burns The Nostromo turns Heavy as a curse We don't break, we learn The Nostromo burns The Nostromo turns Carry us through black Till the last light returns (The Nostromo) [Instrumental Break] [monolog, vocoder voice] Invasion of an aggressive xenomorph. The Nostromo burns. [Verse 2] Coffee gone long cold Paper maps and bad code A silent blinking grid And a warning in the corridor One voice on the wire One breath in the vent The cargo shifts again Like it knows what we meant [Pre-Chorus] Run the checks Seal the locks Count the names Watch the clocks Something's wrong In the hold Hear that thud Down below [Chorus] The Nostromo burns The Nostromo turns Heavy as a curse We don't break, we learn The Nostromo burns The Nostromo turns Carry us through black Till the last light returns (The Nostromo) [Bridge] No saints here No clean hands Just a paid-up crew And a war in the walls When the alarms Start to scream We don't pray loud We just keep on Keep on [Chorus] The Nostromo burns The Nostromo turns Heavy as a curse We don't break, we learn The Nostromo burns The Nostromo turns Carry us through black Till the last light returns (The Nostromo) [Instrumental Break] [monolog, vocoder voice] Invasion of an aggressive xenomorph. The Nostromo burns. [Final Chorus] The Nostromo burns The Nostromo turns Heavy as a curse We don't break, we learn The Nostromo burns The Nostromo turns Carry us through black Till the last light returns (The Nostromo) The Nostromo burns [Outro — monolog, vocoder voice] (May-day, may-day...)
