In the mid-day heat I gave a sigh
Cruisin' through the garden district I was out of my mind
The star of India's in my hotel room
In a briefcase combination: 3,2,1 which only I know
And I've just seen my mentor, Dr. No
'California Sun' is on the radio, let's go
I just wanna reach the radio star
I just wanna reach the radio star
It's a satelite off venus and it ain't too far
I just wanna reach the radio star
I was shooting up in my hotel room
When the phone started ringing - oh no
It was Dr. No, he gave the password
He said 'Hey man, haven't you heard?' and I said 'No'
'The world's been invaded by alien life forms
Meet me at the airport, we've got to get out - let's go'
I just wanna reach the radio star
I just wanna reach the radio star
It's a satelite off venus and it ain't too far
I just wanna reach the radio star
I just wanna reach the radio star
I just wanna reach the radio star
It's a satelite off venus and it ain't too far
I just wanna reach the radio star
I ran to the window and looked out,
there were dead people lying all over the streets, man
Within two minutes I had all my stuff together
I jumped in the car and was speeding down the highway,
past all the deserted cars
In five minutes I was at the airport
but there at the gates I saw what I suppose was one of these alien life forms
I pulled my bazooka out of it's bay in the back of the car and blew it up to hell
As arranged Dr. No was waiting for me in the terminal,
we got in his private jet plane and took off
Two hours later landing in Zaire, where he met up with Fu Manchu,
Hannibal Lecter, the Hooded Claw and all the rest of the gang
We boarded the rocket and soon we were shooting off for the stars
and as we approached the space station I looked down and observerd the earth
The US Air Force being annihilated
and swarms of nuclear weapons soaring through the stratosphere destroying the earth
And I swear to God I laughed
Congratulations you guys
I just wanna reach the radio star
I just wanna reach the radio star
It's a satelite off venus and it ain't too far
I just wanna reach the radio star
I just wanna reach the radio star
I just wanna reach the radio star
It's a satelite off venus and it ain't too far
I just wanna reach the radio star
