Well, Alona took a rocket, said, "I’ll be just fine," Strapped himself in, left the world behind. NASA said, "Boy, that ain’t too wise," He just laughed, said, "Ain’t life a ride?" Oh, the flames shot high, the engines roared, He waved goodbye, said, "I ain't bored!" Headed straight for the fiery sun, Guess some folks just love to run. He passed by the moon, gave it a wink, "Last stop for coffee, whaddaya think?" Mars said, "Boy, better turn back," He said, "Nah, I’m on the right track." Oh, the flames shot high, the engines roared, He waved goodbye, said, "I ain't bored!" Headed straight for the fiery sun, Guess some folks just love to run. Venus called up, said, "Hey, it’s hot!" He said, "Yeah, but it’s all I got." His radio fizzled, his suit caught fire, He just smiled, said, "Ain't this desire?" Oh, the flames shot high, the engines roared, He waved goodbye, said, "I ain't bored!" Headed straight for the fiery sun, Guess some folks just love to run. Well, they say he burned, or maybe he’s light… Or maybe he’s still out there, floatin’ through the night. Either way, man, ya gotta admit… He sure went out in a helluva fit.
