Yesterday a postman

Delivered to me

The pictures that I've longed to see

A special place



A wheel in the sky

Half a mile wide

Will they have a place for me

Up in space



I'm on my way to L"5

I want to stay in L"5



I'm about to empty

My savings account

Hope I have the right amount

To pay the fare



If I can't leave today

I might stow away

Hiding in a storage tank

I'll get there



I'm on my way to L"5

I want to stay in L"5

Save me a place in L"5

Give me some space in L"5



Paperwork in triplicate

And endless delays

Waiting for the departure day

I hope it's soon



If you hear from my wife

I've got a new life

Somewhere between this town

And the moon
