"Spaceman" lyrics

"Spaceman"
(feat. Mark Johnson)
(originally by Harry Nilsson)


Bang, bang, shoot em' up, destiny
Bang, bang, shoot em' up to the moon
Bang, bang, shoot em' up one, two, three

I wanted to be a spaceman
That's what I wanted to be
But now that I am a spaceman
Nobody cares about me

Hey Mother Earth, won't 'cha bring me back down
Safely to the sea
But around 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 'em to send me real soon

I wanted to be a spaceman
I wanted to be it so bad
But now that I am a spaceman
I'd rather be back on the pad

Hey Mother Earth, won't 'cha bring me back down
Safely to the sea
And around and around and around and around
Is all she ever say to me

Hey Mother Earth, won't 'cha bring me back down
Safely to the sea
And around and around and around and around
Is just a lot of lunacy

'Round and around and around and around and around
Bring me back down
'Round and around and around and around and around
Safe on the ground

I wanted to be a spaceman
That's what I wanted to be
But now that I am a spaceman
Nobody cares about me

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

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

'Round and around and around and around and around
'Round and around and around and around and around
'Round and around and around and around and around
'Round and around and around and around and around
