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 âhello 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.
