I'm sick and tired of the rat race
On rocket ship no time to wait
I just want to gravitate
It's out of sight, it's out of sight
It's out of sight, it's out of sight
Gone, it's gone
It's out of sight, it's out of sight
It's out of sight, it's out of sight
Gone, it's gone
People movin' to and fro
To a song and a band and a laser show
Superman, Batman, goin' all night
Playin' one on one with a meteor light
It's out of sight, it's out of sight
It's out of sight, it's out of sight
It's gone, it's gone
It's out of sight, it's out of sight
It's out of sight, it's out of sight
Gone, it's gone, gone, gone
Ninth dimension, seventh lane
I'll get raised in solar cane
The star patrol said keep it down, keep it down, keep it down
Keep it down, keep it down, keep it down, keep it down
As long as the rule when you stay in town
As long as the rule where you stay around
Out of sight, it's out of sight
It's out of sight, it's out of sight
It's gone in the galaxy
It's gone at the galaxy
Out of sight, it's out of sight
It's out of sight, it's out of sight
It's gone in the galaxy
It's gone at the galaxy
Out of sight, it's out of sight
It's out of sight, it's out of sight
It's gone in the galaxy
It's gone at the galaxy
Out of sight, it's out of sight
It's out of sight, it's out of sight
It's gone in the galaxy
It's gone at the galaxy
The lyrics to War's song "Galaxy" describe the singer's desire to escape the mundane and superficialities of modern society by traveling to another realm in space. The repetition of "out of sight" and "gone" emphasizes the longing for a place that is beyond reach, while also serving as a nod to the space race and the cultural fascination with the unknown. The reference to Superman and Batman suggests a desire for heroism and adventure, while the mention of a laser show indicates the technological advancements that fuel the desire for exploration. The final lines suggest that rules still exist even in space, although they may differ from those on earth.
One interesting fact about "Galaxy" is that it was included on both the soundtrack for the 1974 film "That's Entertainment!" and the 1975 album "Why Can't We Be Friends?" The song is also notable for its use of funk and jazz influences, which were hallmarks of War's sound.
Another interesting fact is that the song's lyrics were written by Howard Scott, the guitarist for War. Scott also wrote the music for the song along with his fellow band members.
"Galaxy" has been covered by several artists and has appeared in several films and television shows over the years. The song was prominently featured in the 1986 comedy film "Running Scared" and was also used in the TV series "Miami Vice" in 1985.
The chords for "Galaxy" are not available at this time.

Take me to your place in space
I want to escape the mundane and explore the wonders of outer space with you
I'm sick and tired of the rat race
I am exhausted from the daily routine and fast-paced lifestyle
On rocket ship no time to wait
I am eager to embark on this journey without hesitation
I just want to gravitate
I desire to be pulled towards the alluring universe and experience its mysteries
It's out of sight, it's out of sight
The beauty of space is beyond comprehension and hard to grasp
Gone, it's gone
Once we venture out into the galaxy, we leave behind our earthly troubles
People movin' to and fro
Humans are constantly in motion, yet seemingly stagnant in their daily lives
To a song and a band and a laser show
We distract ourselves from the monotony with music and entertainment
Superman, Batman, goin' all night
Even our fictional heroes work tirelessly to save the day
Playin' one on one with a meteor light
We dream of exciting adventures, like battling meteor showers in space
Ninth dimension, seventh lane
We yearn to explore more dimensions and lanes beyond our current reality
I'll get raised in solar cane
I hope to find enlightenment and renewal in the sun's energy
The star patrol said keep it down, keep it down, keep it down
We must respect the laws of the universe and keep our activities peaceful
As long as the rule when you stay in town
We must follow the rules and customs of wherever we travel
Out of sight, it's out of sight
The vastness of the universe cannot be fully comprehended or seen
It's gone in the galaxy
As we journey further into space, we leave behind our earthly problems

My Grandpa Jack Casey was a G!
He owned the business before my dad,
John W Casey. This is Jack Casey
in the French Quarter, New Orleans -
cuz we’re French and Irish,
our family, The Devereux’s are from
Normandy,
France.
Where Monet lived.
We used to have a famous bar called
“The French Quarter” but it burned down
right after my Grandpa Jack Casey died.
I think he took the business when he died,
Cuz he didn’t want us to be in the bar
business.
Hootie and The Blowfish
Got one of their starts at our
Famous French Quarter bar.
Facts. Before Darius Rucker was
“Darius Rucker” and the wagons wheels.
One of Taylor Swift’s favorite songs haha.
Facts.
Jim Casey started the business
back in 1949. He had his legs
amputated cuz he had diabetes.
I think it’s cuz he drank too much
Coca Colas. He loved sugar haha.
I made the Pilgramage to Normandy
where my family is from,
in 2014, and washed my hands
In the water that used to be bloody
On D Day in Normandy.
There’s a statue / sculpture in the water,
Where all the blood used to be.
But of course us Casey’s were
Born in the United States.

@globetrotter17
Saw them in El Cajon on 12/17/21. Have loved their music for nearly 50 years. My favorite song when I was in 3rd grade was "The World is a Ghetto" not really understanding the depths of the lyrics. Never thought I'd see them live. Still love their music today.
