Think you're in a time machine
Or is it a time bomb?
Think you left me here behind
Perhaps you've got it wrong

You're hanging out with space cadets
You've got to understand
You're crazy for pop astronauts
You're going to crash land

Running round this mirror maze
Through silver days you ran
Feeling so much outer-spaced
You've taken all you can
Wonder where it's taking you
Plying the firebrand
Gonna end up afterburned
It's getting out of hand

Flying through the stratosphere
Is what you had to do
You had to get away from here
Take the Jupiter 2

You're rocking out on rocket ships
You've got a head full of sound
You're cruising with pop astronauts
You're going to crash down

If you find you swim too far
You'll go below and drown
Maybe when you've seen it all
You won't like what you've found
While you're waiting here on earth
You'll find it's a small town
The little bit we've got here's
Not enough to go around

You're in a spiral galaxy
Or is it a tailspin?
Zero in on what you want
Cuz spacelings don't give in

You're racing in a death machine
It makes me wanna shout
You're cruising with pop astronauts
You're going to crash out

You run from plastic meteors
I see without a doubt
You think you really got it all
And what's it all about
I think you better add it up
And see just what amounts
But what you think's the countdown
Is just you down for the count

Pop astronauts
Pop astronauts
Pop astronauts
Pop astronauts
