A grand oasis in the vastness of gloom Child of dew-spangled cobweb, Mother to the Moon Constellations beholders of the 3rd vagrant Theater for the play of life Tragedienne of heavens Watching the eyes of the night Sailing the virgin oceans A Planetride for Mother and Child Floating upon the quiet hydrogen lakes In this ambrosial merry-go-round they will gaze Ephemeral life touched by a billion-year-show Separating the poet from the woe ---

I set a course just east of Lyra And northwest of Pegasus Flew into the light of Deneb Sailed across the Milky Way On my ship, the ‘Rocinante’ Wheeling through the galaxies, Headed for the heart of Cygnus Headlong into mystery The x-ray is her siren song My ship cannot resist her long Nearer to my deadly goal Until the Black Hole — Gains control… ---

Carmen Miranda’s ghost is haunting Space Station Three. Half the staff has seen her, plus the Portmaster and me. And if you think we’ve had too much of Cookie’s homemade rum, Just tell me where those basket-hats of fruit keep coming from. Don’t go down to the cargo-bay when there’s no ship in dock. You just might hear maracas clack and get a nasty shock And if you hear a rumba-beat, don’t pass the messroom door; You just might see a tangerine come rolling down the floor. ---

Lit up with anticipation We arrive at the launching site The sky is still dark, nearing dawn On the Florida coastline Circling choppers slash the night With roving searchlight beams This magic day when super-science Mingles with the bright stuff of dreams Floodlit in the hazy distance The star of this unearthly show Venting vapours, like the breath Of a sleeping white dragon Crackling speakers, voices tense Resume the final count All systems check, T minus nine As the sun and the drama start to mount ---

Standing there alone, the ship is waiting All systems are go, are you sure? Control is not convinced But the computer has the evidence No need to abort The countdown starts Watching in a trance, the crew is certain Nothing left to chance, all is working Trying to relax, up in the capsule “Send me up a drink”, jokes Major Tom The count goes on 4, 3, 2, 1 Earth below us, drifting falling Floating weightless, calling calling home rics ---

I told you ‘bout living in the U.S. of A. Don’t you know that I’m a gangster of love Let me tell you people that I found a new way And I’m tired of all this talk about love And the same old story with a new set of words About the good and the bad and the poor And the times keep on changin’ So I’m keepin’ on top of every fat cat who walks through my door I’m a space cowboy Bet you weren’t ready for that I’m a space cowboy I’m sure you know where it’s at Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah I was born on this rock And I’ve been travelin’ through space Since the moment I first realized What all you fast talkin’ cats would do if you could You know, I’m ready for the final surprise There ain’t no way around it Ain’t nothing to say That’s gonna satisfy my soul deep inside All the prayers and surveyors Keep the whole place uptight While it keeps on gettin’ darker outside I’m a space cowboy Bet you weren’t ready for that I’m a space cowboy I’m sure you know where it’s at Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah ---

Cowboys don’t love Indians Maybe they fight too well They seem tough But it’s just a bluff Some things are hard to tell And who is brave? And who is strong? You think you are You could be wrong We talked Now it’s time to shout Let’s focus eyes again Our views can’t be reconciled Less compromise feels tame And who is brave? And who is strong? You think you are You could be wrong Sometimes when the gates are closed And lights go out inside I wonder where the distance grows At all the shades of right And who is brave? And who is strong? You think you are You could be wrong ---

Don’t get me wrong If I’m looking kind of dazzled I see neon lights Whenever you walk by Don’t get me wrong If you say hello and I take a ride Upon a sea where the mystic moon Is playing havoc with the tide Don’t get me wrong Don’t get me wrong If I’m acting so distracted I’m thinking about the fireworks That go off when you smile Don’t get me wrong If I split like light refracted I’m only off to wander Across a moonlit mile ---

Let’s swim to the moon, uh huh Let’s climb through the tide Penetrate the evenin’ that the City sleeps to hide Let’s swim out tonight, love It’s our turn to try Parked beside the ocean On our moonlight drive Let’s swim to the moon, uh huh Let’s climb through the tide Surrender to the waiting worlds That lap against our side Nothin’ left open And no time to decide We’ve stepped into a river On our moonlight drive ---

Well, take me back down where cool water flows, yeah. Let me remember things I love, Stoppin’ at the log where catfish bite, Walkin’ along the river road at night, Barefoot girls dancin’ in the moonlight. I can hear the bullfrog callin’ me. Wonder if my rope’s still hangin’ to the tree. Love to kick my feet 'way down the shallow water. Shoefly, dragonfly, get back t’your mother. Pick up a flat rock, skip it across Green River. Welllllll! ---
