Meshell Ndegeocello - Space Queen Lyrics

Well I was stranded, one million miles from earth
The safety device on my ship didn't work
Floating around half dead with no future
in the vacuum of space, getting weaker
Along came a ship with the girl that was in it
She looked like a cross between Bob Morenna(?) and Gidget
She said "Hey man, can I give you a ride?"
She opened her hatch, I went inside
The tears were rolling down my face
CHORUS:
Don't let me go, I can't take the fall
You might not know it, but you're my space queen
My rocket holds, one more soul
and in my search for intelligent life
nothing like you has ever crossed my eyes
She took me back to an earth that was horrid
Anger, and greed, and heartache and squalor
For protection we had each other
We built a home, and we recovered
And we loved one another with all of our hearts
but we took it for granted and grew apart
I yearned for the open expansive space
and rebuilt my ship and went away
and as I was leaving I felt like Luke Skywalker
leaving his home planet of Tattoui
"Usa la force-a, Luke" [no idea how to spell
these last 2 line, Starwars fanatics, please help me]
CHORUS:
Don't let me go, I can't take the fall
You might not know it, but you're my space queen
My rocket holds, one more soul
and in my search for intelligent life
nothing like you has ever crossed my
eyes
(crossed my eyes)
(crossed my eyes)
As I was leaving the earths atmosphere,
something was holding me back was it fear?
Maybe, it was the gravity belt
That's when I learned what it was that I felt
A giant rubber band was attached to me tightly
tied to my waist by the girl who had saved me
to make sure I'd return one day
but what she didn't realise
is that the rubber band stretched so far
that when it snapped me back to earth
I went through the earths crust,
through the mantle,
through the core
and out the other side,
breaking every bone in my body (aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah...)
|
Don't let me go, I can't take the fall
You might not know it, but you're my space queen
My rocket holds, one more soul
and in my search for intelligent life
nothing like you has ever crossed my eyes
(Don't let me go) don't let me go now baby
(You might not know it) but you're my space queen
(My rocket holds) and you know, ahaaahaa ooohoooohhoooo...
(Don't let me go) aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah...
(You might not know it)
(My rocket holds) one more soul
And in my search for intelligent life
nothing like you has a, has ever crossed my eyes
