TODD RUNDGREN - L-5 lyrics

Yesterday a postman

Delivered to me

The pictures that I've longed to see

A special place

A wheel in the sky

Half a mile wide

Will they have a place for me

Up in space

I'm on my way to L"5

I want to stay in L"5

I'm about to empty

My savings account

Hope I have the right amount

To pay the fare

If I can't leave today

I might stow away

Hiding in a storage tank

I'll get there

I'm on my way to L"5

I want to stay in L"5

Save me a place in L"5

Give me some space in L"5

Paperwork in triplicate

And endless delays

Waiting for the departure day

I hope it's soon

If you hear from my wife

I've got a new life

Somewhere between this town

And the moon
