(cNfXT)
from the day he was born
The Spaceman's life
on a baffle plate was still
So he turned and
on a mighty pay
Born in the belly
of a rocket ship
After running a load of ore
As from Terra it did fly
His first cries drowned
he put his hand inside
The engine room
by the engines' roar
In no cradle did he lie
gave him all they had
He'd hit Santarra
by the time he was four
sitting where he'd died
Where the engines used to glow
But the captain ordered more
GalHydin when he was nine
Born as a spaceman
They pumped 'em up
in a spaceman's bed
And as a spaceman he would die
He found the plates
to their hottest gain
He learned every course
that a ship could take
Just to hear the rockets roar
Found a few more on the side
He learned new tricks
for his men did give
They took them out
and he held 'em fast
Five hundred miles 'bove
every stop they'd make
With the engines he would ride
the planet's ground
A spacer's pride
was his swagger stick - And his
II To quit's no way to go II
The engines died away
pride knew that he could survive
He lived as a spaceman
The captain called
since the day he was born
And as a spaceman he would die
gave them to the stars
And the rocket shook
II We need power-- Now
They headed for Diversa
in his trading years -- When
Or we'll all die today II
he'd just turned thirty-four
The captain planned
with a mighty roar
The Spaceman said
II All the boys are dead
And as a spaceman he did die
And the stars would let him lie
Not a single spaceman cried
And the engines they did cry
And I'm not far behind
We've pulled much more
And the Spaceman smiled
than she's meant to take -- and
the baffles have blown wide II
For spacemen
in the engine's glow
The captain said
II Well- do something man II
For as a spaceman he would die
And the Spaceman smiled wide
II 'cept hold the plates down
He lived as a spaceman
in the stars do live and
They found the boys
with my bare hands -- We can't
do nothing but enjoy the ride II
in the engine room
But the ground flew up
with destructive
speed
In the stars they long to die
By their stations they did lie
and the Spaceman knew his mind
He couldn't
The Spaceman with his hands
sit in the engine room
And wait for his friends to die
