You’re here for a second and then you’re gone Get my hopes up then you’re moving on I can see you shining ‘til the break of dawn If you could only see what you’re doing to me When you play me like a pawn You’re a comet Streaking across the sky Leaving dust in your wake Making every heart shake They all love to see you fly I can see you coming from a mile away I know even sooner that you ain’t gonna stay Like every time before you’re gonna lead me astray Even though I know how soon you’re gonna go, I’m the one you’re gonna betray You’re a comet Streaking across the sky With your face all aglow You let everybody know that it’s you Who’s up so high You’ll always have your 15 minutes in the sun Stay around ‘til your victory lap is done You might even hint that I’ll always be your one But you’re flying by so fast that we’re never gonna last The time you’ll leave for me, there’ll be none. You’re a comet Streaking across the sky Like a flash in the pan You do everything you can to my heart To make me cry Wish and hope and pray that I’ll get over you It always seems to be that way ‘til the next time that you’re through So I tell myself that you might stay ‘Cos it’s all that I can do But we both know that ain’t true You’re a comet Streaking across the sky Leaving me in your wake Making my heart ache Every time you say goodbye You know there comes a time when you won’t be coming back You’ll take your final spin around your little track And fling yourself to outer space so black Unless you slam into the ground, killing everyone around When you hit the sun with a smack You’re a comet Streaking across the sky But you’re gonna burn out And you know I’m gonna shout When it’s time for you to die

Galaxies collide and their worlds are torn apart Asteroids slam into stars, they’re doomed right from the start When you and I collide, you know it’s bound to break my heart When there’s no space between us When atoms smash together, the quarks fly in a haze When a spark ignites a firework, they set the sky ablaze When you and I explode, my mind goes spinning in a daze When there’s no space between us Black holes suck in matter and it’s trapped for evermore Particles floating round the Sun get burned up in its core When you and I ignite, it leaves me crying on the floor When there’s no space between us Suns explode as Novas we just knew they couldn’t last Volcanoes spew their magma, we’ve all seen that fiery blast When you and I flare up, it feels like love has finally passed When there’s no space between us But when planets circle stars, they spin at their command They feel the warmth they see the light, there’s light upon the land When I reach out to you, if you would only take my hand When there’s space between us Photons launch from stars and eventually decay Rockets launch out into space and then they fly away And when I lose your touch, I feel like you might go astray When there’s space between us We can see through space and time itself we only have to zoom We’ll expand across the cosmos ‘til we meet our final doom But when you’re far away from me all I can see is gloom When there’s space between us And sometimes how I wish that you would take me in your arms I feel your heart, I taste your breath, I’m captured by your charms I like to think you like to think you shelter me from harm When there’s no space between us A light year or a micron it is still too far away An eon or a second seems forever and a day But I’ll still long to hold you when we’ve turned to dust and clay With no space between us

Spacemen gonna rock and spacemen gonna roll They’re jumping to the funk and they’re grooving to the soul They’re dancing to the hip hop, can you feel a disco beat? And you know they like that jazz when they’re down on Bourbon Street We got Rocketman and Major Tom, and Space Trucking is hip And Starman got aboard that supersonic rocket ship So I need someone to start explaining to me then Why there ain’t no country for spacemen. We got our ranches and our rodeos Our Stetsons and our boots Our stockyards where we drive our herds From pastures into chutes Since we were born to ride it’s time to leave that cattle pen And bring some country to Spacemen Now Houston’s got them their Mission Control And if country’s heart is Abilene, then Houston is its soul And Huntsville, Alabama has a place for rockets too That’s the same great state that gave us Hank and Emmylou Now I’m not normally one that goes off running at the mouth But it seems to me that NASA likes to do its thing down south So I’ve asked you once before, and I’m askin’ it again Why there ain’t no country for spacemen We got our ranches and our rodeos Our Stetsons and our boots Our stockyards where we drive our herds From pastures into chutes Since we were born to ride it’s time to leave that cattle pen And bring some country to Spacemen Now they take ‘em to the launchpad in a big ol’ pickup truck ‘fore they blast out into space, they’re kissin’ Mama for good luck You know they’ll do their duty in the sunshine and the rain Last time I saw the shuttle, they were movin’ it by train If you fly to space, or mend a fence, you still need you a plan Now they took over a mountain, why they calling it Cheyenne? SO can’t you tell me something while you’re counting down from 10 Why there ain’t no country for Spacemen We got our ranches and our rodeos Our Stetsons and our boots Our stockyards where we drive our herds From pastures into chutes Since we were born to ride it’s time to leave that cattle pen And bring some country to Spacemen Now I don’t wanna hear you say that space ain’t honky tonk When flyin’ on a rocket’s just like bustin on a bronc And bouncing ‘cross the moon seems like ridin’ on the range And callin’ them Space Cowboys, ain’t that just a little strange Now you really can’t be country, ‘less you’ve slept under the stars Captain Kirk, he ain’t the only one who’s getting drunk in bars SO something bad’s been happening, I need to know since when There ain’t no country for spacemen We got our ranches and our rodeos Our Stetsons and our boots Our stockyards where we drive our herds From pastures into chutes Since we were born to ride it’s time to leave that cattle pen And bring some country to Spacemen I know space can be country, we can wear that badge with pride Since a mustang in a song once told us “ride, Sally ride” And I like to think that Christa was a little country too Like the rest of those who perished wearing red, white, and blue We’re gonna need some wranglers when we reach another world To lassoed charging Martian bulls before our flag’s unfurled It’s a lie that I’ve been hearing, and lying is a sin That there ain’t no country for spacemen We got our spaceships and our rockets Our spacesuits and our boots Our launchpads where we load ourselves On capsules through those chutes We’re all ready to ride, now, since we left that cattle pen And we’re bringing country to spacemen Yeah we’re bringing country to spacemen Yeah we brought that country to spacemen

I am sing singing a song for the thing we love to do I can take my love to town, I can dance that old soft shoe We'll sail on wooden ships and we'll come and sail away We'll take the long way home where the magic dragons play We'll see fire on the mountain if I can't find my way home If we're running on empty and they take my Kodachrome We'll listen to the music if it's not done too soon When I'm walking on the dark side of the Moon. I am fixing up a hole where the rain is getting in I'm walking on the water and it might be a sin I'm under an umbrella when I'm sitting on the dock I'm smoking in the boy's room when we rock around the clock I am buying me a stairway and I'm climbing it to Heaven I need a hero with a jukebox when we play B10 plus Seven I'll meet you in the evening in the merry month of June When I'm walking in the shadows of the Moon. I am out on Thunder Island, I can't drive down Thunder Road I can feel the eyes upon me as I'm loosening my load It's the same old song and dance when we had seasons in the Sun And I'm never going back, 'cos girlfriend we were born to run I really don't know clouds when I chase them from the sky I can drive down in my Chevy to the levy when it's dry The cat is in the cradle and it's with a silver spoon When I'm walking on the mountains of the Moon I can't get no satisfaction when I paint my shelter black My heart of glass might shatter when the chain brings me back I'll cry with or without you, it is more than just a feeling I'll be riding on my seesaw when I'm dancing on the ceiling Will you take a chance on me, I think I'll take that bet I'm the best thing that you ever had and you ain't seen nothing yet I'll be your diamond girl, you'll be my Rocky Raccoon When I'm walking on the craters of the Moon. I'll sing your song in Boston when my Sun is going down Let my heart on, don't break it, or cry tears of a clown I can catch you a grenade, I can cry on my guitar I can think out loud you're perfect, I'll play piano at John's bar We will rock you on or bit the dust as crowds call out for more I can run so far or skate away or look out my back door My rubber band man plays but he's always out of tune When I'm kicking up the dust upon the Moon. Unless you treat me like a lady, I won't come like mama told me I'll sit cross-legged out of doors so my radio can roll me It will take you more than words to put a ring on single ladies But I'll hear my train-a-coming if you buy me a Mercedes I won't get fooled again if I hear the same old song I'll take the midnight train to Georgia if the right one comes along I'll escape with you at midnight to make love up on the dune When we're lying in the soft light of the Moon. My love is hurts, it stinks, it bites, but we won't have no child You can shake me up or turn me loose or you can drive me wild I am very superstitious when I'm tearing down the wall I'll never lose my faith in you, Jim, since we almost had it all I can ask you to come dancing, we can rock n roll all night If you still love me tomorrow, we'll make afternoon delight We can always float away on that ninety ninth balloon And we'll rise up 'til we're shooting for the Moon. I can't stop until the end of time if you can't feel the pain Kickstart my heart with open arms and come right as you are So, wake me up, it's my life, no surprise, my lucky star We can dance head over feet with our toes across the floor Since we belong together, we'll cry more and more and more If you're gone, you're unforgiven, and you'll make our hero swoon When I'm walking on the bright side of the Moon. Now that everybody's talking Can you hear me knock knock knocking? Can you hear my fingers popping? When I'm leapin' and a hoppin'? When I'm walking like I'm walking on the Moon. credits

Gazing at the stars I wonder which one's ours. Oh wait, she doesn't come out at night A thousand points of light Burning, oh so bright Or is it the light of a thousand distant cars? Staring at the stars I think that might Mars Another frozen rock hurtling through space We're stuck here in this place In this losing race Like wings of lace, of fireflies caught in jars Wishing on the stars It beats hanging out in bars Just searching for the one to call my own The one I've never known Like the seeds I've never sown That leave my heart alone with all its scars Catching all the stars Which one's are the quasars? The mysteries of the skies are yet untold The night air can be cold As our empty lives unfold And leave me longing just to hold your avatar Swinging from the stars Like diamonds stuck in tars So beautiful and oh so very rare I wonder who's out there Anybody, anywhere And do they care that we live among their stars? Lying under the stars To the sound of lone guitars Like endless waves crashing on the shore T the one that I adore To the one that I implore To bring me more than what was never ours Dreaming of the stars As I ponder my memoirs Full of truth and a twinkling of lies I've had my lows and I've had highs Lots of laughs that made me cry Gazing at the stars in your eyes.
