Lyrics
Been livin' on the moon for daysMy friends are not even two blocks away
I came to this city on my rocket bike
I heard that life is light on this satellite
Johnny is a rock star from planet Mars
He's been on tour to all the stars
Julie is a waitress in the bullet train
She's on the interplanetary superhighway
I am a mechanic, electrician by trade
I fix all your rockets and your biggest space planes
I'm from a small town on the other side of the moon
When I was young my parents sent me away
To the next planet over for a brighter day
Now I gotta keep movin'
Can you blame me?
I spent 25 years workin' star to star
Now I'm a black belt master of plutonian cars
I learned the language of the Venus girls
If I had to settle down it'd be on their world
(Chorus)
When I'm between the planets all I can see
Are tiny dots in the universe and the cosmic debris
At home the rents were too high
So I moved up to the sky
Now I live a simple life helpin' my people to fly
(Chorus)
If you're broken down in between Saturn's rings
You're late for your date but you got no wings
Well no sweat, I can get you where you wanna be
Cuz if you can't get it started you just call me
(Chorus)
