lyrics

If I built a rocket in the garden
A budget way of public travelling
Maybe there’s a vacancy at NASA with a salary
For singers losing confidence to sing

And I scavenged for fuel for ideal velocity
50 miles up I earned my wings
I built a helmet from an unused fishbowl
And a duvet for my parachute landing

I promise that I won’t be gone for too long
I just want to feel the loss of gravity
Is there any way to feel this weightless
Without a ticket to Israel
And go and swim in the Dead Sea

So I built a rocket in the garden
And I scheduled the launch for Sunday eve
Experience one beautiful orbit
With the optimism that
I’d still make it home for tea

If all goes well I’ll be the first of many
Pioneers of DIY astronomy
Adventurers of the great beyond
I can hear the slogan in the song
The sky’s no limit for me

I think I need to build a bigger rocket
One with a second seat right next to me
You can be my lovely navigator
And I can offer you the world for free
