I wanna go I wanna get up and go man, I need a lift off and I crave the sky I've been chomping at the bit for several weeks now, I'm so ready I need to get high My adrenaline's up beyond the scales man? You couldn't k** me cause I'd never feel a thing I might seem like a ball of nerves to you But that's cool and hear they're really singing It's gonna feel so good Like we always knew it would In this glorious pursuit We're getting in our suits Won't you fly us Past the bright shining stars Won't you fly us To the X-3 pulsar There's nothing wrong there's nothing wrong with all this brute force Flinging metal to the eye in the sky Inertial forces ma** pulling skywards Fighting gravity's holy nuclei I'm gonna try I'm gonna try and make it matter There's no excuses at the level we're at We'll fly the flag and I know We're representing humanity and democracy and all that But hey! It's gonna feel so good
Like we always knew it would Cause in this glorious pursuit We're getting in our suits Won't you fly us To the bright shining stars Won't you fly us Past the moon and past Mars Won't you fly us Won't you fly us Won't you fly us To the X-3 pulsar So damn luminous, hotter than a pistol A high energy ray gun in the swan Is it really true it's made of quarks man, I guess it's just not your standard neutron That's at the core of this wonderful creation A gas s**ing binary star Thirty seven thousand light years, Man that's really way too far Won't you fly us Past the bright shining stars Won't you fly us Past the moon and past Mars Won't you fly us To the bright shining stars Won't you fly us Past the moon and past Mars Won't you fly us Past the bright shining stars Won't you fly us To the X-3 pulsar Won't you fly us Won't you fly us Won't you fly us Won't you fly us
