Space Opera

The distance to the farthest star is known to be immense And yet I make a wish and yes my wish is so intense The light years go by like the pickets on a picket fence In the space opera The aliens attack us and they push the ship off course I grab a coil of wire and the front shoe of a horse Two bottle caps, a magnet and we've got a wall of force In the space opera The galaxy menaced by monsters Who drive through us invincibly And only one man has the answer The man who can save us is me Because of radiation at my birth I was a sport A speeded up mutation of the finer cleaner sort I wasn't really born they poured me out of a retort In the space opera In the space opera In the space opera In the space opera
