Take me around the solar system my friend
Hold up the sun right in the palm of your hand
Dance around the old fashioned Neptune blues
Saturn's dumb rings could hear the sound of your shoes
And after all is said and done
It’s never enough
You're never enough
Well let me be the first one to say to you
Lighten up dude
You know you're paying your dues
And I do believe it's okay if you pay late
Feeling like a bum in outer space
With the crack of a whip across your shoulder blades
And I get the feeling feeling you might know the sound
When everything comes crashing down.
Asteroid gods will do their best to bury you
With the Gobbledigooks
And the blue prostitutes
Don't you go and cover the spirits you hide
They're fruitful and light
I swear they're on your side
And after all is said and done
You might be enough
Y’know you may be enough
Well let me the first one to say to you
Lighten up dude, you're paying your dues
And I do believe it's okay if you pay late
Feeling like a bum in outer space
With the crack of a whip across your shoulder blades
And I get the feeling feeling you might know the sound
When everything comes crashing down.
Just as the universe expands and unfolds
You are growing endlessly too.
There's an awful lot of space out there
Go ahead now kid try to take some up.
You're dying just to feel alive
Tell me now
Will you go?
Feeling like a bum in outer space
With the crack of a whip across your shoulder blades
And I get the feeling feeling you might know the sound
When everything comes crashing down.
