caught in the crossfire
april wine
on assignment to the new world
they said there'd be more chance for war
missed the shuttle to the main star
they promised they'd be back for more
then the warships came without a sound
there were at least a hundred of them bearing down
i heard somebody say we'd be wasted
under fire we were without defense
my buddy said he had a space van
we could see no way out but one
there was no choice but to try and run
passed the warships through the neutral zone
our engines sheared the night as we raced for home
