You're out of your mind, you're out of your head

Get out of the house, get out of your bed

Look at yourself, she said

You need to start listening. Stop being led

And stop watching cartoons--that Flintstone Fred

(Take a) look at yourself, she said

You were always going to be a spaceman

You would take a rocket to the sky

But you just ended up takin' up a lot of space, man

You were taken for a great big ride

Read about life you're filling with dread

Opt for the easy, don't try instead

Lazy inside, she said

Your kids have passed you. They're way ahead

You spend your time drinking chillable red

When cut, it's how you bled

You were always going to be a spaceman

You would take a rocket to the sky

But you just ended up takin' up space, man

You were taken for a great big ride

...And yet you seem so happy, life in your cocoon

...Something simple, something good

You were always going to be a spaceman

You would take a rocket to the sky

But you just ended up takin' up a lot of space, man

You were taken for a great big ride
