Space Race

(专辑： Rappin' Down Town - 1983)

"Good morning, this is mission control.
We've got a beautiful day, and you've been cleared for lift-off."

You don't need no juice or rocket fuel
You don't need to waste time in flight school
You gotta burn bright like a meteorite
Start spinning around like a satellite

So let's you and me defy gravity
Come on everybody, everybody come on
And get up!

Space race
Space race
Space race
Space race

Life in the slow lane gets to be a drag
[?] gotta pack a bag, uh-huh
The shadow's fast, if you like to get around
My mind's on the Moon, my behind is on the ground
Come on!

So you wanna be an astronaut? ("You've been cleared for lift off.")
Fire it up, give it all you got ("In T minus 60 seconds")
So you wanna be an astronaut?
Fire it up, give it all you got

I had a close encounter, didn't know what kind
Bright lights in the sky, you never know what you'll find
I haven't stayed around, just to see what was the plan
Jogging up the door, came a little tiny man

So you wanna be an astronaut? ("all systems go, lift-off in T minus 20 seconds.")
Fire it up, give it all you got
So you wanna be an astronaut?
Fire it up, give it all you got

10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0, rock it!

We got lift off, Houston, we got lift off in a 700 hours, looking good.

10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0, rock it!

Looking good, looking good! We got a lift-off, we got a lift-off.

Let's you and me defy gravity
Let's you and me defy gravity

A little space friends said he had to call home
"You look like freak", and he felt so all alone
He said he came to Earth to see what it's about
He said it's easy getting in, but it's hard getting out

So you wanna be an astronaut? (This is mission control, we're switching director rockets)
Fire it up, give it all you got (For our second stage of the lift-off.)
So you wanna be an astronaut?
Fire it up, give it all you got

So you wanna be an astronaut? (This is mission control, we're switching to automatic pilot).
Fire it up, give it all you got (Relax fellas, everything's under control.)
So you wanna be an astronaut?
Fire it up, give it all you got

People everywhere, if you wanna get away
Maybe just around the corner, or the Milky Way
Transport is in your mind, if you wanna be free
To race for space, that's made for you & me

This is mission control, we're switching you now to our commander-in-chief.
Well, I'd like to congratulate you on your outstanding efforts.
We're all very proud of all of you.
And we're all hoping and wishing for your safe return...
