They say in space nobody can hear you scream. Well, Michael Bay doesn't think that's cool so shut up. That's right we watched Armageddon. So take your space madness pills, dim the lights in your NASA control rooms, and double check who has been using your animal crackers. Remember astronauting is just gussied up oil drilling. Now let's all sing the insomnia theme song! I don't wanna close my eyesI don't wanna to fall asleep'Cause I'd miss you babyAnd I don't wanna miss a thing
