Lyrics
Space Man
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Bang bang shoot-em-up destiny
Bang bang shoot-em-up to the moon
Bang bang shoot-em-up one-two-three
(one two three four)
I wanted to be a space man
That's what I wanted to be
But now that I am a space man
Nobody cares about me
Hey mother Earth won't you bring me back down
Safely to the sea
But round and around and around and around
Is all she ever say to me
I wanted to make a good run
I wanted to go to the moon
I knew that it had to be fun
I told them to send me real soon
I wanted to be a space man
I wanted to be it so bad
But now that I am a space man
I'd rather to be back on the pad
Hey Mother Earth, won't you bring me back down
Safely to the sea
Around and around and around and around
Is just a lot of lunacy
Round and around and around and around and around
So bring me back down
Round and around and around and around and around
Safe on the ground
Hey, Mother Earth better bring me back down
Safely to the sea
But around and around and around and around
Is all she ever say to me
You know I wanted to be a space man
That's what I wanted to be
But now that I am a space man
Nobody cares about me
Say hey Mother Earth better bring me back down
I've taken just as much as I can
You know around and around and around and around
Is the problem of the space man
(Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh)
