Spaceship

Spaceship - Steve Taylor

When I was just a kid, I always had a means of escape

Just climb under the basement stairs and blast off to outer space

But somewhere along the way, I lost the key to that place

So many years of growing up, so many lines upon my face

 And when life gets too jaded

 When the world seems so unfair

 Wish I could still fly my spaceship

 Underneath the basement stairs

It had a gigantic window, so I could wave to every star

A planetary intercom, so I could talk to those from mars

A switchboard made of Legos, and a gear shift from my old bike

Construction paper readouts, and an old string of Christmas lights

 And you could be my co-pilot

 We could venture anywhere

 Come fly with me in my spaceship

 Underneath the basement stairs

  If mom doesn’t break the illusion and open up the door

  Then you and I can boldly go where no one’s gone before

Let’s skate the rings of Saturn, like they do in the cartoons

Swing back through the Milky Way and have a picnic on the moon

We could travel at the speed of light

Stay young as long as we please

And do our best to test the theory of relativity

 We could race with the comets

 And we’ll never need repairs

 Come fly with me in my spaceship

 Underneath the basement stairs 3x
