[Verse 1]
As I step out onto the surface of the moon
I think that there can't be a smaller step from home
Like falling off of a dock and proclaiming
The ocean was conqured for all mankind
We're celebrating the inch we've moved and
In forty-five years we have not been any farther we need

[Chorus]
Spaceman, tell me again
About the Octogrepelectics and the Thermians
Spaceman, tell me again
About the secret switch from hyperactive into plaid

[Verse 2]
Half-sphere of helmet visor a reflective red
An awkward laser blaster levels at my head
My hands fly up and the red curls back then
The view of a smiling blue-skinned man
He says you're coming with me into space
Bring a towel because you never know when you'll be needing it oh

[Chorus]
Spaceman, tell me again
About the Octogrepelectics and the Thermians
Spaceman, tell me again
About the secret switch from hyperactive into plaid
[Verse 3]
Am I to be a model of the human race
With every imperfection splattered on my face

[Bridge]
Turn around and come with us
It's a shame that you've been nowhere
We can only take a single cell and
You look like you've been waiting
Just to jump, to take a leap
To burn it all down to the ground
Just to jump, to take a leap
To turn it all up to the clouds
And to our

[Chorus]
Spaceman, tell me again
About the Octogrepelectics and the Thermians
Spaceman, tell me again
About the Octogrepelectics and the Thermians
Spaceman, tell me again
About the Octogrepelectics and the Thermians
Spaceman, tell me again
About the secret switch from hyperactive into plaid

[Outro]
(Spaceman)
We need our Spaceman
(Spaceman)
We need our Spaceman
