Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Step right up and listen please
You're gonna get it with the greatest of ease
Well everybody gather round
All aboard the underground
You've got to get in before you get out
And getting out what it gonna be about
What if you find that you are blind
Open up your bashful mind
Let my band step inside and take you on a cosmic ride
Let my band step inside and take you on a cosmic ride
[Verse 2]
With honest sounds I'll paint your brain
For in this song I do proclaim
That once aboard this moving train
I'll do my best to ease your pain
Slinky as my speech maybe
On this trip you'll ride for free
As we leave our trailer spots
Well outer space is lots of dots
This axis bold as love you see comes and goes so easily
This axis bold as love you see comes and goes so easily
[Verse 3]
Space is king or so I say
A subway to Venus
Space is king or so I say
A subway to Venus
[Verse 4]
Once aboard and feeling smooth
Like a liquid you will ooze
Into a state of mind that soothes
Aw be my quest inside my groove
Cause what I've got to give to you
Is gonna make you wanna boogaloo
I'll make you wiggle like a wiggly worm
'Cause you deserve to wiggle and squirm
Life's too short to be in a hole so bust into your funkiest stroll
Life's too short to be in a hole so bust into your funkiest stroll
[Verse 5]
Space is king or so I say
A subway to Venus
Space is king or so I say
A subway to Venus
[Verse 6]
What I've got to give to you
Is gonna make you wanna boogaloo
I'll make you wiggle like a wiggly worm
Cause you deserve to wiggle and squirm
Life's too short to be in a hole so bust into your funkiest stroll
Well, take your body shake it around
And do the dog on the ground
And if I can't make you dance
I guess I'll just have to make you piss your pants
[Verse 7]
Space is king or so I say
A subway to Venus
Space is king or so I say
A subway to Venus
Space is king or so I say
A subway to Venus
Space is king or so I say
Subway to Venus
