lyrics

she out among all the stars
she Barbarella in impermeable spacesuit
she passing Venus and Mars
he think about her on his crowded a.m. commute

This is Houston.
Do you read me?
Are you out there?
Do you need me?
Standard orbit,
or extended?
I will be waiting 'til this is ended

I got the home fires burning for you
No matter how far you may roam
I got the home fires burning for you
gonna be hot, gonna be hot when you get home.

she want to be astronaut
she want a rocket ship to fly over land and sea
she like adventure a lot
he like adventure novels read with a cup of herbal tea

You're the fly girl
to the masses.
Are you my girl?
Are you NASA's?
Where you off to?
When you landing?
Got your transmission, but no understanding

I got the home fires burning for you
I got the searchlights all over town
I got the home fires burning for you
guide you in, guide you down,

It's all right, it's all right for me to be your secret weapon
'cause I know that you know I'm not a stone for you to step on
It's all right
I had jealousy eating away at me from the inside
but I know you now, and you know me now
and I love you baby
and I wanna see you ride this ride
