Space

You said you wanted some space …
Well is this enough for you? …
This is what you’ve waited for …
No dust collecting in the corners …
No cups of tea that got cold before you drank them …
Tonight … travelling at the speed of thought …
We’re going to escape into the stars …
It doesn’t matter if the lifts are out of order …
Or the car won’t start …
We’re rising up … above the city … over forests … over fields …
Rivers and lakes … into the clouds … and up above us …
The whole universe is shining a welcome …
Did you ever really think this day would happen …
After days trying to sell washing-machines on your own? …
It looked like we never left the ground …
But we’re weightless … floating free …
We can go wherever we want … solar systems … constellations … galaxies …
I’ll race you to the nearest planet …
How may times have you wished upon a star? …
Now you can touch it … you can touch the stars …
Go on … don’t be afraid …
'I only wanted some space'…
Well is this enough for you? … Is it? …
Well the stars are bright … but they don’t give out any heat …
The planets … are lumps of rock … floating in a vacuum …
Yeah, space is cold … when you’re on your own …
I think it’s time to go home … pulling my strings …
Like a kite that flew too high … and now it’s time to come down …
Look out below …
Wait 'til I get back …
You can see something …
You can see space … but now I know … it’s O.K. …
Space is O.K. … but I’d rather … I’d rather get my …
I’d rather get my kicks down below … oh yeah … come on …
