Lyrics


1. SPACESHIP SUPERSTAR

Every night is a different flight to a different galaxy
Do a sold-out show, then I hit the road in my starship limousine

Get so damned tired and uninspired doin' all these one night stands
It's a giant leap for Rock'n'Roll...but it's too much for just one man

I'm a Spaceship Superstar... gotta solar-powered laser beam guitar
I'm at the top of all the charts on Mars...I'm a Spaceship Superstar!

On Mercury, they're crazy about my stellar rock'n'roll
And I always sell out in advance at the Martian Astrobowl

The fans, they swarm like meteorites to our concerts on the moon
You should have seen us knock'em dead on Venus doin' all our favorite tunes

I'm a Spaceship Superstar...gotta solar-powered laser beam guitar
I'm at the top of all the charts on Mars...I'm a Spaceship Superstar!


2. TAKE ME TO THE KAPTIN

The planet dies and no one cries
So hard to believe
If there was somewhere else to go
You know I'd be the first to leave

I don't mean to sound ungrateful
But I'm afraid that I just can't stay

I had a dream the other night
And as the dream unfurled
I took a trip in a rocket ship
And I found another world

They told me about their Kaptin
Then I asked him "Could I stay?"

I said: Take me to the Kaptin and tell him why I'm here
I want to stay in your world while my world disappears

Won't you take me to the Kaptin and tell him why I'm here
I want to stay in your world while my world disappears

(repeat from verse 2)


3. IT'S OVER

What you gonna do when I'm gone?
Who you gonna turn to when you just can't carry on?
Who you gonna run to when it's over?

Maybe you'll believe me when I'm gone
Maybe if I leave you'll realize where we went wrong
You shouldn't be surprised to know
It's Over
It's Over
It's Over

(Solo)

Maybe in a day you'll change your mind
Maybe if I stay we'll work it out if there's still time
Cause baby if I leave you now
It's Over
It's Over
It's Over


4. FLYIN'

You're on the inside
I'm on the outside
Baby, there's no right side to this game

You had me floatin'
How could I be knowin'
That our love was only a one act play

Flyin'
you should be flyin' home
Flyin'
now you'll be flyin'home

Now that you're leavin'
I just can't believe it
I should have seen it a long time ago

The time I was losing
love can be so confusing
Now I'll put you back on that morning plane

Flyin'
now you're flyin' home
Flyin'
you'll be flyin' home

Get on your way...
Get on your way up to the sky
A brand new day...
it's a brand new day and I'm flyin'!

Flyin'
you'll be flyin' home
Flyin'
it's time you're flyin' home
Flyin'
you'll be flyin' home
Flyin'
I'll see you flyin' home

Flyin' home...

(repeat and fade)


5. TAKE ME AWAY

Is this love I'm feelin' now
Or just my mind that tumbles down
Is it the stars that tell us what to know
Is it the mainline to the public show

[Chorus]
Oh Take me, take me, take me away!
Take me, take me, take me away!

(Solo)

[Chorus]

Deep in a moments overflow
I hear a voice from long ago
Splash in the water...echo's time
Flash in the pan is a pantomime

[Chorus] (x2)

Is this love I'm feelin' now?


6. SEE FOREVER EYES

Looking right through you she knows who you are she's got see forever eyes
A spirit obsessed, a vision possessed with universal inner sight
No stranger to love she's had many men but none of them survived
Her crystal excites so follow the light of her see forever eyes

[Chorus]
See Forever Eyes
See Forever Eyes

Beholding the mirror her eyes give a feeling of lonely vacant skies
Soaring above always searching for love the soul within her flies
Caught by a glance, in a gossamer trance, woven by her lies
Compelling them nearer, dispelling their fear with her see forever eyes

(Solo)

[Chorus]


7. COVER GIRL

Cover girl you've come a long way
New Mercedes in the driveway
Oh oh, she's just a small town girl at heart
I'm concerned with what they say
Reputation on display
Oh how people like to talk.

I saw her picture in a magazine row
Blue eyes shinin by the cellophane glow
Tonight she's giving it all away, she's all right
My Cover Girl

Five years in eighteen months
She got everything all at once
She moved out that's when he moved in
Cover Girl it's such a damn waste
You were more than just a pretty face
I never thought I'd never see you again

I saw her picture in a magazine row
Blue eyes shinin by the cellophane glow
Tonight she's giving it all away, she's all right
My Cover Girl

(Solo)

Cover Girl you've come a long way
New Mercedes in the driveway
Oh oh she's just a small town girl at heart
Cover Girl it's such a damn waste
You were more than just a pretty face
I never thought I'd never see you again

I saw her picture in a magazine row
Blue eyes shinin by the cellophane glow
Tonight she's giving it all away, she's all right
My Cover Girl
I saw her picture on the 6-o clock news
Just read about the cover girl blues


8. NIGHT TO REMEMBER

Hey little girl, I'm a man of the world
Some say I've been around
Hey little girl, can I show you the world
Lay down beside me now
Never forget, this moment we met
Forever recall this night
Doin' it all on a night to remember

Night to remember, a night to live on
A moment together, it's here then it's gone

Turn out the light, look in my eyes
Open your heart to me
Love on the run, it's only begun
Darlin' I know you'll see
Sweet talk and wine, spendin' the time
Learnin' what love's all about
Never forget, this moment we met
Don't let it end without doin' it all on a night to remember

Night to remember, a night to live on
A moment together, it's here then it's gone
A night to remember, a night to live on
A moment together, it's here then it's gone

Sweet talk and wine, spendin' the time
Learnin' what love's all about
Never forget, this moment we met
Don't let it end without doin' it all on a night to remember

Night to remember, a night to live on
A moment together, it's here then it's gone
A night to remember, a night to live on
A moment together, it's here then it's gone
A night to remember, a night to live on
A moment together, it's here then it's gone


9. VIRGINIA

Summer leaves are gone and the time has come
For the plans you made long ago
Hear the engines roar as we walked throught the doors
I just can't believe this dream is over
Virginia look up in the sky, don't it bring you sorrow
We know when ever you gonna fly, I will be there tomorrow
Virginia, Virginia don't go
Virginia, Virginia don't go
It's easy to release me when you're three thousand miles away
You no longer care, when I'm no longer there
And all the love we have will fade away, fade away

Virginia please hold on to me, don't leave it all behind
Is there something I can say, that will change your mind
Virginia, Virginia don't go
Virginia, Virginia don't go

So look around you now at this faceless crowd
You can walk right out and forget it
Virginia we got too much love to bring it to an end
And I know if I let you go, I'll never see you again
Virginia, Virginia don't go
Virginia, Virginia don't go
Virginia, Virginia don't go
Virginia, Virginia don't go
Virginia, Virginia don't go


10. YOUNG AND RESTLESS

Standing at attention, waiting for the bell to ring
After all the crap I've been through gonna make my break
Whatever it takes to let them know that I ain't foolin'

Young and Restless Runnin' out of control...
Young and Restless Headin' for an overload...

Going for reaction, good or bad I don't care
Doing something drastic to turn the adrenaline on
Then take a stand and say I didn't know what I was doing

Young and Restless Runnin' out of control...
Young and Restless Headin' for an overload...

Trying for attention, recognition for the pain
Flyin' solo, its a vision so lost and so alone
Then all at once, it's gonna hit you without warning

Young and Restless Runnin' out of control...
Young and Restless Headin' for an overload...


11. ARMAGEDDON

There was a full moon over Memphis
National Guard outside
Thousands wait for Elvis
Waitin' ever since he died
For a miracle to gonna happen
His eminence to restore
The sound of thunder crackin'
Signals the beginning of the war to end all wars

Armageddon carry me home
Armageddon carry me home
Armageddon carry me home
Armageddon carry me home

Jerry and Linda in the Whitehouse
President sleepin' in his shoes
Red phones ring in the blackout
Ain't got time to lose
U-boats off New England
Enemy submarines
From Boston to Miami
On a red alert, you better scramble all the F-15's

Armageddon carry me home
Armageddon carry me home
