Standard (EADGBE)

Bang bang shoot-em-up destiny

Bang bang shoot-em-up to the moon

Bang bang shoot-em-up one-two-three (One two three four)

I wanted to be a space man

That's what I wanted to be

But now that I am a space man

Nobody cares about me

Chorus

Hey Mother Earth won't you bring me back down

Safely to the sea

But round and around and around and around

Is all she ever say to me

I wanted to make a good run

I wanted to go to the moon

I knew that it had to be fun

I told them to send me real soon

I wanted to be a space man

I wanted to be it so bad

But now that I am a space man

I'd rather to be back on the pad

Chorus + last line:

Is just a lot of lunacy

Round and around and around and around and around

So bring me back down

Round and around and around and around and around

Safe on the ground

Chorus

You know I wanted to be a space man

That's what I wanted to be

But now that I am a space man

Nobody cares about me

Chorus #2:

Say hey, Mother Earth, better bring me back down

I've taken just as much as I can

But round and around and around and around

Is the problem of the space man

Aaahhhh Aaahhhh (repeat and fade)
