The Rocket Ships Of La Jolla
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.
The rocket ships of La Jolla are waiting to blast away, blast
away
Away for adventure, a trip of a lifetime of discovery
And you are the captain, going without me
(California)
(California)
(California)
California drive-by, shooting film from the car
Church by the road like rockets pointing at the stars
How did we get here, what on earth went wrong?
Leave the earth on a rocket ship if you feel you don抰 belong
It抯 just an idle dream, a fantasy, but I抣l tell you
something
a dream was good enough for me
The rocket ships of La Jolla are waiting to blast away, blast
away
Away for adventure, a trip of a lifetime of discovery
And you are the captain, going without me
California sunshine, north London rain
The same sky that launched them both will welcome you again
A house of devotion, more than it seems?
Fool myself with appearances
If you know what I mean
It抯 just an idle dream, a fantasy, but I抣l tell you
something
a dream was good enough for me
So what the hell is wrong with fantasy?
A dream was good enough (good enough) for me.
The rocket ships of La Jolla are waiting to blast away, blast
away
Away for adventure, a trip of a lifetime of discovery
The rocket ships of La Jolla are waiting to blast away, blast
away
Away for adventure, a trip of a lifetime of discovery
And you are the captain
