[Verse 1]
Big yellow in black
That big ol' moon shines every night
And I fly so close to it, so high
Build a rocket ship on my balcony
Counting down and fire it tonight
A fever all around
A feelin', burnin', yearnin'
When we're leavin' ground
A journey homeward bound
Maybe we'll stay on the Milky Way
A room on Alpha Centauri A with a view

[Chorus]
We need to lift off, get outta here
Travel with the speed of light feels good
We're going so fast stars turn to stripes
See so clear what's left behind
What midnight was is now a fadin' blue

[Verse 2]
The Earth from above
A blue-green marble spinnin'
Through that silver stardust
It's probably what made us
Returning to Saturn again
While I'm still holding hands with you
[Chorus]
We need to lift off, get outta here
Travel with the speed of light feels good
We're going so fast stars turn to stripes
See so clear what's left behind
What midnight was is now a fadin' blue

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
We need to lift off, get outta here
Travel with the speed of light feels good
We're going so fast stars turn to stripes
See so clear what's left behind
What midnight was is now a fadin' blue
