In A spaceship sailing past the ionosphere

my woman and my fairweather friends are here

we re on a mission to build a country on the sun

i’ll take the air and make an empire of windows

grabbing the clouds and make a place to rest

after this house is finished we’ll be as one

i’ll use the stars to make a roof over my head

we’ll take the soil of the planet for the ceiling

I’ll decorate the house with the shades of space

to reflect the happy things that I’m feeling

the salt of the earth is too bitter

and the sounds of the city are too disgusting

the people of this land are too uptight

we can escape this place for it’s as dark as night

on a start flight flying through the black days

and making a residence of our own

so we won’t be alone

needing a way to escape

on a spaceship sailing past the ionosphere

my woman and my fairweather friends are here

we’re on a mission to build a country on the sun
