V5.5

[INTRO: instrumental] [VERSE 1] Powered down the pulse injectors As the station caught the last rays of two suns Venting heat, off gassing the cabin's stale air You're at the transfer platform As I come down the stairs Just another night beginning at starport Spent the last eight weeks without contact of any sort You're always awaiting my arrival, but you know I'll be leaving You might have caught my eye But my heart ain't for keepin [CHORUS] Oh be a fine girl and kiss me goodbye My other lady's at port waiting And she's ready to fly You can hold me fleetingly You can't plant this familiar Stardusted stranger in your arms You'll always be on my mind Sweetheart... But my heart is with the stars [VERSE 2] So we talk about the worlds Ive seen Turquoise peaks on a fire mountain Diamonds shining in the skies Shootin' from fumarolic crystal fountains I tell you to join me out there in the wilds You just pat my hand with a sad little smile I hear you weeping quiet from the next room Don't know what keeps you grounded here Around this lonely moon But as week rolls to an end No strolls under the stars eternal rays Will keep you from counting down these fleeting days [CHORUS] Oh be a fine girl and kiss me goodbye My other lady's at port waiting And she's ready to fly You can hold me fleetingly Stardusted stranger in your arms You'll always be on my mind Sweetheart... But my heart is with the stars [VERSE 3] Fix my kit for departure Your chin tucked to my chest We walk into the terminal You're wearing such a pretty dress I'll be out beyond the horizon Discoveryyyy... Is calling meeee My list is wandering into spaces No one's ever seen [BRIDGE] I don't mean to desert you Never meant to hurt you Ain't a single orbit that can hold me back Gotta scratch that itch and head out into the black [FINAL CHORUS] Oh be a fine girl and kiss me goodbye My other lady's at the port waiting And she's ready to fly You can hold me fleetingly Stardusted stranger in your arms You'll always be on my mind Sweetheart... But my heart is with the stars [OUTRO: long spacey instumental] [FADE OUT] [END]
