Spaceman Lyrics - Singles - Harry Nilsson

Bang, bang, shoot em' up, destiny 

Bang, bang, shoot em' up to the moon 

Bang, bang, shoot em' up one, two, three 

(One, two, three, four!) 

I wanted to be a spaceman 

That's what I wanted to be 

But now that I am a spaceman 

Nobody cares about me 

Hey mother earth 

Won't 'cha bring me back down 

Safely to the sea 

But 'round and around and around and around 

Is all she ever say to me

I wanted to make a good run 

I wanted to go to the moon 

I knew that it had to be fun 

I told 'em to send me real soon 

I wanted to be a spaceman 

I wanted to be it so bad 

But now that I am a spaceman 

I'd rather be back on the pad 

Hey mother earth 

Won't 'cha bring me back down 

Safely to the sea 

But 'round and around and around and around 

Is just a lot of lunacy 

(Yeah!) 

'Round and around and around and around and around 

(So bring me back down) 

'Round and around and around and around and around 

Safe on the ground

Hey mother earth 

Won't 'cha bring me back down 

Safely to the sea 

But 'round and around and around and around 

Is all she ever say to me, yeah 

You know I wanted to be a spaceman 

That's what I wanted to be 

But now that I am a spaceman 

Nobody cares about me 

Say, hey! You mother earth 

You better bring me back down 

I've taken just as much as I can 

But around and around and around and around 

Is the problem of a spaceman 

(Ah's!)
