Rocketship
Big Rock Candy Mountain Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
well its about to go off
on an interstellar away
I got a lighter on my left hand.
throw down my kick stand,
and I make my way down to the water to fire away
Sending it,
to planets far from sane
Sending it,
away, away, away,
To planets far from sane
My rocket ship is magic
I'm sending it to passage
My rocket ship is magic
I'm sending it to passage
Away, away, away,
to planets far from sane
Sending It,
away, away, away,
to planets far from
The smile fades outs as I've waited all today
The hot sun burns and it melts if off my face
I light the fire, light the engine. I throw the wrench in
the tension mounts and i yell out a warning
What have have I done
Here it comes
It pushes down it goes up there, in the atmosphere,
past the belt of Orion its fading,
its fading away
Sending it,
away, away, away,
To planets far from sane
Sending it,
away, away, away,
To planets far from sane
Sending it
My rocket ship is magic
I'm sending it to passage
The rocket ship is magic
I'm sending it to passage
The rocket ship is magic
I'm sending it to passage
