2010 Lyrics : Robin Thomas Quinn
Floating in the dark
Tryin' to get a read on my spaceship, now.
Where did it go?
Feeling quite invisible
I'm the one, Separating Boy ... the Battery Boy.
Hey ... what you say, now?
I'm nowhere that's where I am; I'm a million miles away.
I'm a go getter, that's who I am; I'm not going anywhere, today.
Countdown imminent
Gotta get back to the motherlode
"Mother can you hear me, now ... Mother can you hear me?
Gonna leave your little boy, a million miles away from home ...
Sad and alone?"
Hey, hey ... what you say, now?
I'm nowhere that's where I am; I'm a million miles away.
I'm a go getter, that's who I am; I'm not going anywhere, today.
Torchy, Torchy the Battery Boy, I'm a walkie talkie toy.
Cut my line, I start to scream, I'm lost in space if you know what I mean.
OK, I understand. I'm on my own, now.
I'm ready. I'm ready, all right.
You know, we humans ... what are we doing to ourselves ...?
Wars, Famine, Greed, Social Problems ...?
And for all the good that we do, there's some f*** er on the other end of the planet killing people.
I think I'm better off out of it. Over And Out.
If you're walking out tonight, look up into the darkness
Maybe you'll see me, yeah, floating in the dark
For I'm lost in space tonight, a million miles away.
Ave Maria
