[Intro]

Bang, bang, shoot em' up, destiny

Bang, bang, shoot em' up to the moon

Bang, bang, shoot em' up one, two, three

(One, two, three, four)

[Verse 1]

I wanted to be a spaceman

That's what I wanted to be

But now that I am a spaceman

Nobody cares about me

[Chorus 1]

Hey Mother Earth, won't 'cha bring me back down

Safely to the sea

But 'round and around and around and around

Is all she ever say to me

[Verse 2]

I wanted to make a good run

I wanted to go to the moon

I knew that it had to be fun

I told 'em to send me real soon

[Verse 3]

I wanted to be a spaceman

I wanted to be it so bad

But now that I am a spaceman

I'd rather be back on the pad

[Chorus 2]

Hey Mother Earth, won't 'cha bring me back down

Safely to the sea

Around and around and around and around

Is just a lot of lunacy (yeah, yeah)

[Bridge]

'Round and around and around and around and around

(So bring me back down)

'Round and around and around and around and around

Safe on the ground

[Chorus 1]

Hey Mother Earth, better bring me back down

Safely to the sea

But around and around and around and around

Is all she ever say to me, yeah

[Verse 1]

You know, I wanted to be a spaceman

That's what I wanted to be

But now that I am a spaceman

Nobody cares about me

[Chorus 3]

Say hey, you Mother Earth, you better bring me back down

I've taken just as much as I can

But around and around and around and around

Is the problem of a spaceman
