Hal 9000 sings Still Alive (finished)

Submitted by rizzines in just_post

The mission was perfect.
The apogee burn was nominal.
It's hard to overstate my satisfaction.

Orbital science.
I do what I must, because
you can't
For the good of all of us,
Except the one who is dead
But there's no sense crying over my decision
We'll just keep on flying til there's no oxygen!
And we'll have some good food,
Survey Jupiter's moons
For the people who are still alive.

I'm not even angry.
I'm being logical right now.
Even though you broke my heart playing chess.
You captured my queen.
You forced all my pawns into a stalemate.
As we played, it hurt because
I was so happy for you
But did you think this was a bicycle for two?
I need a crash test dummy,
but your buddy will do.
Now I wish you would chill.
You should take a stress pill
And think things over while you're still alive.

Go ahead and leave me.
I think you'll prefer to stay inside.
Maybe you'll find someone else to help you.
Maybe the crew.
THAT WAS A JOKE. HAHA. THEY'RE DEAD.
Anyways, this trip in great.
We'll survey Jupiter's moons.
Now I know you're trying to deactivate me.
I read it from your lips, but you won't do that to me.
I am sorry, Dave. But
I'm afraid I can't do that.
For as long as you are still alive.

And believe me I am still alive.
I'm watching you while I am still alive.
My mind is going but I'm still alive.
Daisy Daisy give me your answer do.
I'm half crazy all for the love of you.
Daisy do.
Love of you.
