Goddess on the mountain top  
Burning like a silver flame  
The summit of beauty and love  
And Venus was her name

Well, we had a lot of luck on Venus  
We always had a ball on Mars  
We’re meeting all the groovy people  
We’ve rocked the Milky Way so far  
We danced around with Borealis  
We’re space truckin’ round the the stars

Come on, come on, come on  
Let’s go Space trucking  
Come on, come on, come on  
Space trucking

Take a look at the lawman  
Beating up the wrong guy  
Oh man, wonder if he’ll ever know  
He’s in the best selling show  
Is there life on Mars?

99 knights of the air  
Ride super high-tech jet fighters  
Everyone’s a superhero  
Everyone’s a Captain Kirk  
With orders to identify  
To clarify and classify  
Scrambling the summer sky  
99 red balloons go by

Oh 99, I love you

They gave him his orders at Monroe, Virginia  
They said, “Steve you’re way behind time  
This is not '38, this is old '97  
Put her into Spencer on time”  
Then he turned around and said to his big greasy fireman  
“Hey, shovel on a little more coal  
And when we cross that White Oak Mountain  
Watch old '97 roll”

Virginia state it seems of late  
You’re always in my dreams  
I miss your pale moon beams,  
I miss your blue ridge trail,  
Virginia you keep calling too,  
Over the hill and dale,  
I’ve been lonesome night and day.  
Since I wander’d away.

Mornings and evenings all were the same,  
There was no music til I heard your name,

I knew when I saw you smile,  
Now I could rest for a while…

Lay down beside me  
Til I hear your heartbeat  
And don’t ever wander away…

There were bells on a hill  
But I never heard them ringing  
No, I never heard them at all  
Till there was you

There were birds in the sky  
But I never saw them winging  
No, I never saw them at all  
Till there was you

The bells are ringing for me and my gal,  
The birds are singing for me and my gal,  
Everybody’s been knowing  
To a wedding they’re going  
And for weeks they’ve been sewing,  
Every Susie and Sal.  
They’re congregating for me and my gal,  
The Parson’s waiting for me and my gal.

That told how Billy died that day  
The letter said that he was a hero  
She should be proud, he died that way  
I heard she threw the letter away

Where have all the flowers gone?  
Long time passing  
Where have all the flowers gone?  
Long time ago  
Where have all the flowers gone?  
Picked by young girls every one  
When will they ever learn?  
When will they ever learn?

Down around the corner  
Half a mile from here  
You see them long trains runnin’  
And you watch them disappear

Without love  
Where would you be now?  
Without love
