Rocket Ship Songtext

von They Might Be Giants

Here I sit, feeling low
Wishing I had anywhere to go
Want to go for a ride
For a ride inside a rocket ship

Rocket ship, rocket ship
Want to ride inside a rocket ship
On a trip, on a trip
On a trip inside a rocket ship

Here I go
I make the rocket ship go
Goin' slow
I make the rocket ship go

Fogging the view
Cupping face to the window
In darkness: the shape of a nose and a mouth
Head in the way of the viewers
And everyone standing around like there's something to get

The thing that you'll see will make you go insane
(Everyone wants to see that groovy thing)
And everyone wants to see that groovy thing
(Everyone wants to see that thing)

Second day of the trip
Of the trip inside the rocket ship
Second week, second year
We're a thousand miles from anywhere

Rocket ship, rocket ship
We're all riding in a rocket ship
On a trip, on a trip
On a trip inside a rocket ship

Messed up my face when we fell off the sofa
I injured my hair when we fell from the plane
But nothing can hurt me; I have no nerve endings
I lost so much blood that I'm ready to faint

The thing that you see will make you go insane
(Everyone wants to see that groovy thing)
And everyone wants to see that groovy thing
(And everyone wants to see that thing)

As I understand it, the thing in the window
The word on the street isn't so, I have read
According to sources the thing in the window
And based on reports and from what we've been told

The thing that you see will make you go insane
(Everyone wants to see that groovy thing)
And everyone wants to see that groovy thing
(Everyone wants to see that thing)
