Space Queen Lyrics - Me'shell Ndegéocello

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
