lyrics

Starman Dave
if they should ask
are you a god
please say Yeah

Starman Dave
please say Yeah
and send us back
your blessings half

Starman Dave, took his ship, flew his ship to a distant planet

Starman Dave, took his ship, flew his ship to a distant star

[NASA never sought such grace; NASA had no easy faith]

they are the gods,
these stars above
we send our thoughts and now
our robots out to greet them.

it's a comet, it's an asteroid
is natural, an android
is warning us,
or winking on a fly-by

gives no sign, emits no beep
arrival of the starry deep
a single pixel blinking on a screen

it's a comet, it's an asteroid
is natural, an android
is warning us,
or winking on a fly-by

then one night in our common sleep,
calling from the inner deep
a voice who enters every human dream

I DO NOT LOVE
I'M HIGH ABOVE
I AM THE SUN
I BRING YOU FIRE

YOUR CLOCK IS RUN
MY WILL IS DONE
I AM THE SUN
I AM THE FIRE

Starman Dave if they should ask
are you a god, please say Yeah Yeah Yeah
