Lunar C - Rockets Lyrics

      

Rockets
by Lunar C

PART I

Chorus
You can pray to God, no one can save you from
Just being stuck here floating on this pale blue dot
It goes school then work, make babies, go grey and then you're gone
No time to play, one day you'll be forgot

Verse
A lonely speck of dust suspended in a sunbeam
Living unaware of the unseen above me
Overdeveloped mutated monkeys
Who become weak and had to give up climbing up trees
Can't stay indoors staring at a screen
Like a hermit not daring to be seen
I got a dream to chase
Can't stray from thе plan, I won't deviate
Won't tell mе "The sky's the limit" but I've been to space
The world won't wait, we got no time to play, the world won't wait
I said the world won't wait, we got no time to play, the world won't wait

Chorus
You can pray to God, no one can save you from
Just being stuck here floating on this pale blue dot
It goes school then work, make babies, go grey and then you're gone
No time to play, one day you'll be forgot

Interlude
Yo, charge the rocket blasters

PART II

Verse
Intergalactic spaceship mechanics
The world's mundane, so painfully average
Me and the same little chav kids
That I grew up playing in the flats with escaping the plan
Council estate martians, you're getting your wig twocked
Emptied the car and the tank ready for liftoff
Leaving Earth, cover your ears, sonic boom
Last off will shoot for the stars and land on the moon
Travelling through space in a time warp
Looking out the window for alien lifeforms
Spacecraft captain, I make 'em stand to attention
I don't know if we're actually ascending or astro-jetting
I'm Neil Armstrong in Air Maxes, Buzz Aldrin in a tracksuit
'Bout to pass through a black hole and take the fast route
Pull out the phaser gun if you act rude

Interlude
Yeah yeah
Bradford to the universe
Bradford to the universe

PART III

Verse
Stop the world spinning, I wanna get off
Please someone wake me up at the next stop
Tryna get to somewhere I can get lost
A place where the air pressure might make my head pop
When the world gets dark, I be sitting in the car
With the headlights on, don't mistake 'em for the stars
Modern engineering, we set the bar high
Tell me how'd you make a little yellow broken down yellow car fly outta space?
Voyaging in the off-world vehicle
We'll be gone for the foreseeable
I see the Earth getting smaller in my rear-view mirror
Might do a lap around Mars and make it home for dinner
Is it a bird? Is it a plane?
Pedal to the metal till we're bursting into flames
But never mind, you live and learn, this is a game
And every time I got on the return, I did the same
