Lyrics:

Adventure rocket ship
Inside a head parade
A message from the future
You crash upon a star!

Attention rocket ship!
A message from the grave
You rock me like a pharoah
I hear you in my voice
You crash upon a star

Adventure rocket ship!
Tallulah having sprung
I wait for you to come

Adventure rocket ship
The lover and the slave
The skeletons of spacemen
Unzipper me with love

I'm comin' for you someday
(Wooh ooh ooh wooh ooh)
As faithful as a mummy
Discovered in a crater
Hermaphrodite in style
You crash upon a star
You crash upon a star

And who is the moon?
(Who is the moon?)
Who is the sunshine?
(Who is the sunshine?)
Who is the moon?
(Who is the moon?)
Who is the sunshine?
(Who is the sunshine?)

Attention rocket ship
Protected on a wave
I wish I was the future
I kiss you in the past

I'm comin' for you someday
(Wooh ooh ooh wooh ooh)
As faithful as a mummy
You rock me like a pharoah
Hermaphrodite in style

You crash upon a star...
You crash upon a star...
You crash upon a star...
You crash upon a star...

Attention rocket ship!
