lyrics

I met this girl; she was from outer space
She puts all other people to disgrace
She let me know that she can’t be controlled
She said, “You know I love you baby
But I got a rocket soul

I got a rocket soul
I got a heart of flesh and blood
But I swear I got a rocket soul.”
Baby baby you’re so outta sight
Wanna be your spaceman every night
But when you leave I just can’t be consoled
You know I love you baby
But sometimes I hate your rocket soul

She said,
“Well I don’t believe in God or anything
that would suggest that there’s something special going on inside of me.
But there may be a really really tiny vibrating string
that propels me back and forth across the galaxy.”

Maybe maybe now it’s not so bad
As I stand here on the launching pad
Sometimes I make her come
Sometimes I make her go
Love everything about her
I even love her rocket soul
