Harry Nilsson Spaceman Lyrics

Spaceman Lyrics

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!)

I wanted to be a spaceman
That's what I wanted to be
But
now that I am a spaceman
Nobody cares about me

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

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
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

Hey mother earth
Won't 'cha bring me back down
Safely to the
sea
But 'round and around and around and around
Is just a lot of
lunacy
(Yeah!)
'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

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, yeah

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

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

(Ah's!)
