Rocket Ship Songtext

von Steppenwolf

My mind is racing in the middle of the night
Riding the nightmares 'til dawn
My heart is pounding with the rhythm'n blues
How long is this to go on?

If I could ride on a rocket ship
I'd steal away and leave this world behind
If I could ride on a rocket ship
I'd stay away until I cleared my mind

Sirens are wailing, brakes are screeching down the block
The kids are screaming cross the way
Your head is throbbing like it's going into shock
You've had enough for one day

If you could ride on a rocket ship
You'd run away and leave the world awhile
If you could ride on a rocket ship
You'd fly away until you found your smile

I have been workin' 'til the grind stone's up my nose
And you're in the salt mines nite and day
Let's put the world on hold and sneak out the back door
Come on it's time we got away

Let's take a ride on a rocket ship
We'll steal away and leave the world awhile
Let's take a ride on a rocket ship
We'll stay away until we learn to smile
Come on and ride on a rocket ship
We'll roam the stars just like Mister Spock
Yeah, take a ride on a rocket ship
We'll have some fun, we'll do it in the dark

Pack your bag, leave that hat just bring your fantasy
Take your dreams and lock'em in your soul
Grab my hand, let's make a dash out past the milky way
Time to fly, bye bye, we got to go.
