Space Cowboy |
|
I told you 'bout living in the U.S. of A. |
|
Don't you know that I'm a gangster of love |
|
Let me tell you people that I found a new way |
|
And I'm tired of all this talk about love |
|
And the same old story with a new set of words |
|
About the good and the bad and the poor |
|
And the times keep on changin' |
|
So I'm keepin' on top |
|
Of every fat cat who walks through my door |
|
I'm a space cowboy |
|
Bet you weren't ready for that |
|
I'm a space cowboy |
|
I'm sure you know where it's at |
|
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah |
|
I was born on this rock |
|
And I've been travelin' through space |
|
Since the moment I first realized |
|
What all you fast talkin' cats would do if you could |
|
You know, I'm ready for the final surprise |
|
There ain't no way around it |
|
Ain't nothing to say |
|
That's gonna satisfy my soul deep inside |
|
All the prayers and surveyors |
|
Keep the whole place uptight |
|
While it keeps on gettin' darker outside |
|
I'm a space cowboy |
|
Bet you weren't ready for that |
|
I'm a space cowboy |
|
I'm sure you know where it's at |
|
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah |
|
I see the show downs, slow downs, lost and found, turn arounds |
|
The boys in the military shirts |
|
I keep my eyes on the prize, on the long fallen skies |
|
And I don't let my friends get hurt |
|
All you back room schemers, small trip dreamers |
|
Better find something new to say |
|
Cause you're the same old story |
|
It's the same old crime |
|
And you got some heavy dues to pay |
|
I'm a space cowboy |
|
Bet you weren't ready for that |
|
I'm a space cowboy |
|
I'm sure you know where it's at |
|
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah |
