Switches on, rockets down
For one last check I'll sit and have another look around
It's not hard to turn a card
And pray the way you'll go someday
When you let completely go of your controls

Launch is on, nothing found
It's too late now to reconsider staying on the ground
Wondering what flight will bring
The peace of mind you hope to find
Resisting all the pulling of the black holes

I'm a spaceman on a trip
Star cruising in my mental ship
All alone in endless space
A billion stars to light my face

Galaxies, they pass by me
Never stopping to display their promised destiny
What a shame no one's to blame
If I should crash and burn to ash
Just one more victim of some lost endeavor

Where do all these ships come from?
Zooming through the universe, resounding with a hum
I can't see ahead of me
Never knowing where I'm going
This voyage will go on and on and on forever

I'm a spaceman on a trip
Star cruising in my mental ship
All alone in endless space
A billion stars to light my face

We're all spacemen on a trip
Star cruising in our mental ships
All alone in endless space
A billion stars to light our face

Switches on, rockets down
Launch is on, nothing found
Wondering what flight will bring

I'm a spaceman on a trip
Star cruising in my mental ship
All alone in endless space
A billion stars to light my face
