Spaceball Ricochet Lyrics

Words & Music by Marc Bolan
Recorded by T. Rex, 1972

I'm just a man,
I understand the wind
And all the things,
That make the children cry.

With my Les Paul,
I know I'm small,
But I enjoy living,
Anyway.

Book after book,
I get hooked,
Every time the writer,
Talks to me like a friend.

What can I do,
We just live in a zoo.
All I do is play,
The spaceball ricochet.

Deep in my heart,
There's a house,
That can hold,
Just about all of you.

I brought a car,
It was old but kind,
I gave it my mind,
And it disappeared.

I love a girl,
She is a changeless angel,
She's a city it's a pity,
That I'm like me.

I said how can I lay,
When all I do is play,
The spaceball ricochet.

I'm just a man,
I understand the wind
And all the things,
That make the children cry.

With my Les Paul,
I know I'm small,
But I enjoy living,
Anyway, yes I do.

Deep in my heart,
There's a house,
That can hold,
Just about all of you.

How can I lay,
When all I do is play,
The spaceball ricochet.
Oh Baby,
The spaceball ricochet.
Oh mama,
The spaceball,

Ah-ah-ah....
Oh do the spaceball.
(till end)
