I wanna cruise the galaxy at FTL, Pursuing Heaven and defying Hell, I want to do everything that a man can do, And I want to do it all out there with you. Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide, Nothing worth doing that I haven’t tried. There ain’t no living on planet-side, Come on with me, baby, on a rocket ride. ---
