Rocket to Ride

Down here putting out the same old fires

You’re still spitting out the party line

I don’t know why it would be different this time

It’s just as well we’ve got a rocket to ride

We’re still paying off our old adventures

They’ll be mining Mariana trenches

I don’t why it would be better this time

It’s just as well we’ve got a rocket in the sky

It’s only natural that we should seed and bloom

I don’t know why, I don't know why

You’ve been skimming all the cream off nicely

Strip the fat and leave the bones out nightly

It’s no surprise to see it so unsightly

It’s just as well we’ve got a big ship

It’s only natural that we should seed and bloom

I don’t know why, I don't know why
