Commander Cosmo
[Commander Walter]
You told me
You’d h-
Burning in the stratosphere
Looks like there’s no place to run
I know that I have a heart
It burns like a million suns
[Ground Control, Spoken]
Commander Walter, come in. We’ve got the Cosmo’s distress signal. You were hit by an unknown force, an energy with Earth as it’s source. What’s your status?
[Dwight, Sung]
This is flight Engineer Dwight
Ground Control, do you read?
The explosion, it hit Walter!
Hit him right in the chest
I’m losing air, I’m spinning out
High above the Earth
I don’t think I can hold on much longer
[Ground Control, Spoken]
Dwight! Dwight! Keep the scaffolding in your sight! Hold on there!
[Commander Cosmo]
Ground Control, this is Walter. I'm bringing Dwight back home!
[S.P.G., Sung]
The story says he saved Dwight
Filled his lungs with air
And he returned him through the atmosphere
Without a bruise, or scrape, or tear
Commander Cosmo Saves The Day
A hero overnight
He rocketed into outer space
Just by thinking about flight
There was no explanation
How he did what he did
He unearthed special powers
From his deep cosmic id
He could eat thirty moons
And still eat thirty-five more
And his super space muscles
Were hard to ignore
Commander Cosmo save us!
It’ll never be the same
The star streak of justice flies
Just call the commander’s name
Commander Cosmo save us!
Save us all from Mars
The martians melted Parliament
And ate all of our cars
Black hole strong and lightspeed quick
Singularity Concussive Kicks
Comet Crystalline Ether Form
And eyes that burn like a cosmic storm
[Sam]
Mister Cosmo, you're the best
Hello, my name is Sam
I bought your T-shirt and your lunchbox
- the one with the sweet hologram
If you could sign my baseball bat
Gosh that would be swell
And if you’ve got some extra time
Could you send those spider demons back to hell?
[S.P.G.]
Commander Cosmo save us!
Save us from Doctor Blight
With your helmet made from UV rays
And that space cape of starlight
Flying saucers, sky sharks, the Starblood Beast
All could not compare
Even the space pterodactyls didn’t stand a chance, Commander Cosmo killed them all
With his Sun Beam Stare
[Commander Cosmo]
I just can’t bare to wade
Through the infinite decades
Seein’ all those pretty smiles
They’ll burn, they’ll burn
Burning like a million suns
I know where I’m going to run
Straight into the heart so far
Deep within the darkest star
[S.P.G.]
Commander Walter loved her
But the ring, it came too late
Decades flew by but she would cherish him
No matter his final fate
Commander Walter, save him
Save him in your heart
Find peace inside the black
Of the dark Necrostar
Commander Cosmo, save us
It’ll never be the same
There’s nothing left to save us
And the vice is what to blame
Commander Cosmo, save us
Save us from the end
What will we do when the cosmos quake
And the gods above descend?
