I want to be a space man

Way up in the sky

In a tiny little capsule

Where I can bide my time



Like a robomatic rocketboy

Who journeys back into the stars

To hang with all the angels

Somewhere out beyond Mars.





Branded, stranded, but not alone

Sent here, light-years,

From my home

10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1

But there's so much work

Left to be done

Before we fly into the sun





Chorus

I don't belong here

Feel like I've come from outer space

I don't belong here

I'm only visiting this place





Listen for a transmission

My radar pointed at the sun

Do my best to do my duty

TIll the day that he comes





Come in, come in Commander Cosmo

May day Mission Command

I'm a planetary pilgrim

More than a mortal man





Elroy, spaceboy, son of a jet,

Jedi's, moonpies, spacecadet

10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1

But there's much work

Left to be done

Before we fly into the sun

Don't need a rocketship

For me to fly

My wings are waiting for me

Heavenly home, up in the sky

There's no place that I'd

Rather be





When I've carried out my mission

And my work on Earth is done

Eternal life's fruition

Will be given to me by

God's only son
