[Verse 1] Mr Skiffington in a silver coat Got a paper map and a pocketful of hope He left the porch light for a ring of stars Said “if I miss my train I’ll just ride my scars” [Pre-Chorus] Now the moon is calling from the far blue lane He taps the window and it says his name [Chorus] Mr Skiffington In Space Mr Skiffington In Space Hold that grin and take your place Mr Skiffington In Space Mr Skiffington In Space Way up high you still save face [Verse 2] He drank root beer from a dented can Watched the world below from a tin roof span A blinking dashboard and a borrowed dream He waved to the night like it owed him steam [Pre-Chorus] Now the moon is calling from the far blue lane He taps the window and it says his name [Chorus] Mr Skiffington In Space Mr Skiffington In Space Hold that grin and take your place Mr Skiffington In Space Mr Skiffington In Space Way up high you still save face [Bridge] If the road goes thin and the radio fades He'll still find his pulse in the calm of the haze One small spark one stubborn flame Mr Skiffington becomes the name [Chorus] Mr Skiffington In Space Mr Skiffington In Space Hold that grin and take your place Mr Skiffington In Space Mr Skiffington In Space Way up high you still save face
