lyrics

When I was kid I wanted to be an astronaut
Live in outer space so totally free
And love it a lot
I would fly about the station
In a constant state of weightless elation
I would sleep in a tube
It would be such a groove

I just wanna get myself out of this world

When I was fourteen the future didn't seem so bright
But still I'd stare up at the stars
Until late in the night
When one came through the ceiling
It was then I knew that weightless feeling
Blasted me to the moon
How very opportune

I had my toothbrush and my Tang
All set to be in the Right Stuff gang
Wrote a note to my mom and dad
"I won't be back. Please don't be mad."
I hope they love me and that they are glad

Now I've grown into a man and I live up on Mars
And from my bed I can see
A zillion stars
Take my new friends in my stride
Dark they are and golden-eyed
It's fun to live in space
It has been my saving grace
