Head to Space

The world is turning, we're on our way

The burning circle, life, leave it behind you

You've got no problems, they've gone away

So take your money, throw it behind you

This ancient tarmac in rearview grey

In the only thing I, I leave behind me

The horizon's burning, so far away

From the same old people in the same old houses

And I am a capsule turning, far away

Oh, and I see the old world burning, far away

So clear the launchpad and arm the capsule

Two tonnes of gelegnite explode behind you

Your father's money has gone away

Eight billion dollars, they, they burn behind you

Goodbye boys

My old heart

Groans with light shows

And I am a capsule turning, far away

Oh, and I see the old world burning, far away

So fire your burners and head to space

And hear the gelegnite explode behind you

All of your problems have gone away

Eight billion dollars, they burn behind you, and I

Head to space

And leave your problems so far behind you

Now ditch the burners

Rotate the capsule

And spit your toothpaste

In perfect circles

Oh, oh, Earth's an emerald, so far behind you

And David's spiders, they, they crawl beside you

The flags are flying so far away

For the brave new people in, in brave new houses

They'll build new statues in, in brave new dirt

So far away from the laughter rising

And I am a capsule turning, far away

Oh, and I see the old world burning, far away

It's all so easy, boys

Tic Tac on the Eastern Seaboard

As quick as Vaseline

Quick smile for the camera, three, four

It's all so easy, boys

When's your birthday? Late September

I'll send a telegram

As long as someone else remembers

It's all so easy, boys

Blue smoke on the Eastern Seaboard

As slick as Vaseline

Quick smile for the camera, three, four
