Lovely Navigator

[Verse 1]
If I build a rocket in the garden
A budget way of public travelling
Maybe there’s a vacancy at NASA with a salary
For singers losing confidence to sing

[Verse 2]
And I scavenged for fuel for ideal velocity
And 50 miles up, I earned my wings
I build a helmet from an unused fishbowl
And a duvet for my parachute landing

[Verse 3]
I promise that I won’t be gone for too long
I just want to feel the loss of gravity
Is there any way to feel this weightless
Without a ticket to Israel
And go and swim in the Dead Sea

[Verse 4]
So I build a rocket in the garden
And I scheduled the launch for Sunday eve
Experience one beautiful orbit
With the optimism that
I’d still make it home for tea

[Verse 5]
If all goes well I’ll be the first of many
Pioneers of DIY astronomy
Adventurers of the great beyond
I can hear the slogan in the song
The sky’s no limit for me

[Verse 6]
I think I need to build a bigger rocket
One with a second seat right next to me
You can be my lovely navigator
And I can offer you the world for free
