I left for outer space to see if i could fly.
Found myself on the planet earth with no real reason why.
Build me a rocket! don't build it slow.
I'll leave this planet behind, into the future i go.
i'll say â€hello€ to the boogeyman. i'll leave this planet and return again.

I can't wait for nasa. i want to go
Into outer space before i get too old.
And if i wait for very long i'll find myself an old man with all my chances gone.

If you want to rock-n-roll with me
You got to build yourself a ship to cruise this galaxy.
Tiny robots, laser beams, space invaders are living my dreams.

If there was a time when space was new,
It must have been way back in 1962.
If i could travel around the world i'd leave this planet behind in a cosmic tilt-a-whirl.
