On the launch pad, on the launch pad,

We can see for miles around.

In a second we have lift-off

With our ship high off the ground.

 

CHORUS:

Into space now, into space now

Heading for the great unknown.

Shooting stars with tails blazing.

This could be the twilight zone,

 

Total darkness now surrounds us

And our bodies have no weight.

Oh my goodness!  There's my napkin,

Cup and saucer and my plate.

 

CHORUS

 

There's the moon now right before us

Glowing silvery and gray.

How I long to tale a picture

But my camera floats away.

 

CHORUS

 

Moving onward through the darkness

Where the stars so brightly shine.

I'm amazed at what's before us.

So I continue down the line.

 

CHORUS
