Push me out into space
make me see good mother earth from the outside.
I wanna see this place
I wanna be in Space—I gotta be in space
outside of this big ole world.
Faster than the speed of sound.
More powerful than the world being round.
Riding through the universe.
Floating with you in verse and in reverse
outside of this big ole world.
Making rings around the moon,
I’m doing everything up and down
acrobatic clown—a naturalistic sight.
I have caught the speed of light
outside of this big ole world.
