He was a kid, he had aspirations like you
Yelled at in school as one mind split into two
Graduated college at the top of his class
Got in a rocket ship and peered outside through the glass
And if you ask anyone who knew that kid in school
They'd tell you he was reserved, but they all thought he was cool
And now he's travelling among the stars (and now he's travelling among the stars)
And now he's travelling among the stars (I heard he's gonna go pretty far)
Ask him his past, he'll just shake his head and say "no"
"I'm not that sure you need to know what I did below"
In a tin can, floating around through outer spacе
I think for him, this is a safer space
But if you ask anyone if that guy has thе brains
They'd tell you "no, he's crazy, his mind is gone, he's gone insane"
And now he's travelling among the stars (and now he's travelling among the stars)
And now he's travelling among the stars (I heard he's gonna go pretty far)
And now he's travelling among the stars (and now he's travelling among the stars)
And now he's travelling among the stars (I heard he's gonna go pretty far)
