Píseň: Spaceman

Interpret:
Harry Nilsson
Album:
Son of Schmilsson
Bang, bang, shoot em' up, destiny
Bang, bang, shoot em' up to the moon
Bang, bang, shoot em' up one, two, three
(One, two, three, four!)


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 'round 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
'round and around and around and around
Is just a lot of lunacy
(Yeah!)
'round and around and around and around and around
(So bring me back down)
'round and around and around and around and around
Safe on the ground


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, yeah


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


Say, hey, you Mother Earth
You better bring me back down
I've taken just as much as I can
But around and around and around and around
Is the problem of a spaceman
