Rocketship

Come help me light the fuse
The autopilot's on cruise
There's not a moment to lose
I've packed the gravity boots
And the dehydrated fruit
Let's find a new altitude
We'll build a rocketship tonight
Fueled by caffeine and delight
We'll blast off from a boulder
And calculate as we grow colder
And I'll tuck you into bed
As asteroids whiz by our heads
The rocketship is taking over
Taking over
What's that at forty degrees?
It's from the seventies
Preserved in the deep freeze
We've left the Earth far behind
Good-bye to our own kind
Who knows what we will find
We'll build a rocketship tonight
Fueled by caffeine and delight
We'll power up from solar
And watch the Earth over your shoulder
And I'll tuck you into bed
In celluloid, white, blue and red
The rocketship is taking over
Taking over
We've lost control...
