Out in Space lyrics
Saturday, May 21, 2005
Listen

When this old world starts getting me down
And people are just too much for me to face
I wait for a call from Mission Control
And ask them please to launch me into space

Out in space, it's peaceful as can be
And it's easy cause there is no gravity,
Let me tell you now

When I come home feeling heavy with care
I'll go up and be weightless in the air
I'll get far away from the hullabaloo
A little light in the sky out there

Out in space, so high above the ground
Where you lie on your back and float around
Let's go out there in space

And at night the stars are close as they can be
I'm a bird in the sky, a fish in the sea
Let me tell you now

That right smack dab in orbit around
Cruising through the skies without a trace
And if this old world starts a getting you down
There's room enough for two
Out there in space...
