[Verse 1]
Stars, with their suns
Move on out
The future's in the skies above
Heaven's gonna fall
And a new star is born
Space and time makin' love
[Chorus]
Oh what a time we had
Living on the ground
To the station #5
See you next time around
Next time around
[Verse 2]
As far as you want, move on out
It's all in your mind, you know
I feel so low, have I ever seen this day
It's here, it's time to go
[Chorus]
Oh what a time we had
Living on the ground
Moved to station #5
See you next time around
[Bridge]
Remember when it was so clear
And the tired old heads all in the wind
If the time suits you right
I'm leaving tonight
You never know neow noew noew...

Come fly away with me!
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah
