I'm
an interstellar cowboy, and I roam from star to star
From Polaris to Arcturus, all the way to
Achernar
From Vega down to Altair, then back to Deneb
too
A celestial triangle in the summer for to
view
I know every spiral galaxy, I know every
quasar too
Those black holes and those nebulae, yes
I know there's quite a few
There's
only just one life for me, and it's really not so strange
It's riding out upon the stellar range.
I've
worked on all those ranches that spread across the sky
I can tie a knot in a comet's tail , and
on that I would not lie
I've worked on herding asteroids, just to
keep them in a belt
I can lasso round a stray one, and tell
you how it felt
I know every cosmic honky tonk, every cheap
hotel and bar
But the place I like to be the most, is
camped among the stars
There's
only just one life for me, and it's really not so strange
It's riding out upon the stellar range.
Now
I don't mind neutrinos, or exploded star debris
I can take the freezing temperatures or
the heat in high degrees
I can tolerate those Klingons, with their
smelly fancy cars
They leave a trail of Lone Star beer cans,
everywhere they are
But give me open spaces, not a fence for
light years round
In the silence of the vac-u-um, you cannot
hear a sound
There's only just one life for me, and it's
really not so strange
It's riding out upon the stellar range.
On
the road to the Mizar rodeo, down Ursa Major way
I stopped in at the Alcor bar, just to pass
the time away
I saw her in the corner, a beauty for to
see
I monitored her blue shift, then she was
standing next to me
The rest they say is history, but that don't
mean a thing
In the space and time continuum, everything
is happening ...at once
There's
only just one life for me, and it's really not so strange
It's riding out upon the stellar range.
