Mr. Spaceman is the third track on The Byrds' 1966 album Fifth Dimension. This song was initially written by The Byrds' lead singer Roger McGuinn as a screenplay on melodrama, but upon release of the track as a single, the band decided to change certain elements in the song and lyrics to shift away...
Woke up this morning with light in my eyes
And then realized it was still dark outside
It was a light comin' down from the sky
I don't know who or why
Must be those strangers that come every night
Whose saucers shaped lights put people up tight
Leave blue green footprints that glow in the dark
I hope they get home all right
Hey Mr. Spaceman, won't you please take me along
I won't do anything wrong
Hey Mr. Spaceman, won't you please take me along
For a ride
Woke up this mornin', I was feeling quite weird
Had flies in my beard, my toothpaste was smeared
Over my window, they'd written my name
Said: "So long, we'll see you again"
Hey Mr. Spaceman, won't you please take me along
I won't do anything wrong
Hey Mr. Spaceman, won't you please take me along
For a ride
Hey Mr. Spaceman, won't you please take me along
I won't do anything wrong
Hey Mr. Spaceman, won't you please take me along
For a ride
Mr. Spaceman was written by Roger McGuinn.
