Daily Planet - Six String Rocketeer lyrics

Caught in the crossfire while the battle raged down the hall There were no bad guys, just a couple of consenting adults I just had to get away, but I had no car to drive So my body stayed inside my room As I slipped into my mind [Chorus] I'm going out where no one can find me Beyond this thickened air, where my spirit is free I'm blasting off with a strum of my six string Six String Rocketeer Well, my getaway car is this beat up guitar And I'm off to that place Where I find my escape Life as it happens is rarely the way that you planned Roll with the punches or you'll end up a mad, little man A broken home was not the place they intended this to end But the wounds were deep inside my soul Let the healing begin [Chorus] I step on board as commander in chief With Sgt. Pepper in military motif We walk this ship and I nod with a grin At my friends Gordon Sumner and Mudslide Slim "Take me to the pilot," I demand And they lead me to the Rocket Man "Who's navigating?" I inquire As Julio swoops down by the schoolyard There my soul was as light as a feather As the Piano Man had us all singing together [Chorus]
