    A Long Time, A Long Way To Go
    Composer(s): Todd Rundgren
    Performer(s): Todd Rundgren



    It's a long time and a long way to go
    What was once mine isn't mine anymore
    All my fears you would not find me
    All behind me
    It's a long way and a long time to come
    When our hearts stray and the troubles begun
    I'll forget it if you make me
    Please just take me if you will
    I know that if you will
    Nothing you can say could block my way
    Nothing you can do to make me not want you
    And love you for a long time
    It's a long time and a long way to go
    But in my mind there is one thing I know
    For as long as we're together
    Love forever

    Hotel Miramar
    Performer(s): Fernando Ubiergo



    Cuántos aviones
    tendrán que cruzar
    el azul del mar
    cuántos cometas
    vendrán a morir
    atrás de mi ventanal…

    Cuántos ladridos
    mi perro dará
    antes de dormir
    a esos fantasmas
    que viven aquí
    desde que tú
    no estas…

    Estaré esperando
    en alguna mesa
    del Hotel…
    junto al ventanal
    las olas romperán
    este silencio
    Miramar…
    sin tiempo

    Cuántos eclipses
    tendré que cruzar
    cuántos peajes
    tendré que pagar
    cuántas canciones
    tendré que escribir
    para aprender a olvidar…

    A Long Time Gone
    Composer(s): Jeff Lynne
    Performer(s): Electric Light Orchestra



    Seems like forever and time left to spare
    When I look out the window
    And still you're not there
    You're a long time gone
    Such a long time gone

    Tearing down memories bitter and sweet
    Smashing away 'til it's all obsolete
    You're a long time gone, long time gone
    Such a long time gone, long time gone
    You're a long time gone

    Do I wonder why
    Every day that I
    Think about you still
    And I always will

    Did so much for me
    Now I think I see
    This I do believe
    Feels more like a dream

    Looked at the weeds in the broken concrete
    Before the bulldozers waltzed in and killed the old street
    You're a long time gone, long time gone
    Such a long time gone, long time gone

    Door steps that shone in a bright summer sky
    Lay shattered and wasted since our last goodbye
    You're a long time gone, long time gone
    Such a long time gone, long time gone
    You're a long time gone

    Do I wonder why
    Every day that I
    Think about you still
    And I always will

    You're a long time gone

    Did so much for me
    Now I think I see
    This I do believe
    Feels more like a dream

    You're a long time gone

    Do I wonder why
    You're a long time gone
    You never did
    I never said goodbye
    You're a long time gone

    A Long Time Ago
    Composer(s): Jim Croce
    Performer(s): Jim Croce



    Seems like such a long time ago
    I was walking on a lonely road
    Getting tired of dreaming alone
    like all the lonely people I had known

    Seems like such a long time ago
    there was no one who would share my song
    I was just a boy far from home
    but I became a man when you came along

    We spent the whole night talking
    You said you'd like to see the sun rise
    But in the gold of morning
    was nothing that I had not seen in your eyes

    I was so afraid to touch you
    thought you were too young, you know
    So I just watched you sleeping
    Then you woke and said to me
    The night is cold, it frightens me
    I could sleep so easy next to you

    Wasn't very long ago
    you said that you would like to share my role
    Then you started singing my song
    Spent so many nights a-waiting
    Lets not spend a moments wasting time
    because we have very far to go
    I will go if you will take me
    I have never had a lover
    I am young but I am so alone

    We spent the whole night talking
    But in the gold of morning....

    Hotel California
    Composer(s): Don Felder; Glenn Frey; Don Henley
    Performer(s): The Eagles;
    and various other artists



    On a dark desert highway
    Cool wind in my hair
    Warm smell of colitas
    Rising up through the air
    Up ahead in the distance
    I saw a shimmering light
    My head grew heavy, and my sight grew dim
    I had to stop for the night
    There she stood in the doorway
    I heard the mission bell
    And I was thinking to myself
    This could be Heaven or this could be Hell
    Then she lit up a candle
    And she showed me the way
    There were voices down the corridor
    I thought I heard them say

    Welcome to the Hotel California
    Such a lovely place
    Such a lovely place (background)
    Such a lovely face
    Plenty of room at the Hotel California
    Any time of year
    Any time of year (background)
    You can find it here
    You can find it here

    Her mind is Tiffany twisted
    She's got the Mercedes bends
    She's got a lot of pretty, pretty boys
    That she calls friends
    How they dance in the courtyard
    Sweet summer sweat
    Some dance to remember
    Some dance to forget
    So I called up the Captain
    Please bring me my wine
    He said
    We haven't had that spirit here since 1969
    And still those voices are calling from far away
    Wake you up in the middle of the night
    Just to hear them say

    Welcome to the Hotel California
    Such a lovely Place
    Such a lovely Place (background)
    Such a lovely face
    They're livin' it up at the Hotel California
    What a nice surprise
    What a nice surprise (background)
    Bring your alibies

    Mirrors on the ceiling
    Pink champagne on ice
    And she said
    We are all just prisoners here
    Of our own device
    And in the master's chambers
    They gathered for the feast
    They stab it with their steely knives
    But they just can't kill the beast
    Last thing I remember
    I was running for the door
    I had to find the passage back to the place I was before
    Relax said the nightman
    We are programed to recieve
    You can check out any time you like
    But you can never leave

    Tell me you love me again but this time slowly
    'Cause you're talkin' too fast, baby much too fast
    Come on and squeeze me again but this time slowly
    'Cause I like your grasp but it's much too fast

    You said that our love will grow together
    'Cause your mine all mine
    But dynamite love won't grow an inch
    If you don't take your time

    Come on and kiss me again but this time slowly
    Not so fast, make it last

    You said that our love will grow together

    Hotel Blues
    Performer(s): Jim Capaldi



    Well I ain't bragging, but you know it's true
    That I live my life making music for you
    I've had some good times and I've had some bad
    But I'd do it all again and I wouldn't be sad

    Well I lived in the house of joy
    and I lived in the house of gloom
    But if I don't die playing on stage
    I'm gonna die in this hotel room

    Well I've been riding in them limousines
    And I've had my pictures in the magazines
    I've had some good girls and I've had some bad
    And I've had the ones that nearly drive you mad

    Well I lived in the house of joy
    and I lived in the house of gloom
    But if I don't die playing on stage
    I'm gonna die in this hotel room

    Well my manager keeps telling me
    You've gotta keep on working to survive
    He's constantly reminding me
    the fact that making money ain't no jive

    I've traveled this wide world
    And I've sang my blues
    And I've played everything from jazz to Blue Suede Shoes
    I've played 'em in downtown
    I've played to rednecks
    I've slayed 'em in one town, and I've died in the next

    Well I lived in the house of joy
    And I lived in the house of gloom
    But if I don't die playing on stage brother
    I'm gonna, 0 you know what I'm talking about
    Take me home ....

    A long and lasting love
    Not many people find it
    But those who do their whole life through
    Put their heart and soul behind it
    A long and lasting love
    A long and lasting love
    Is what I've always dreamed of
    And when I look into your eyes
    I knew I'd really seen love
    A long and lasting love
    Chorus:
    We got a once in a lifetime
    All the dreams we've waited for
    Are just beginning to come true
    It happens once in a lifetime
    When you find that special girl
    Who knows the meaning of love like you
    A long and lasting love
    We share for many reasons
    A special bond
    That goes beyond the changing of the seasons
    A long and lasting love
    A long and lasting love
    Is what I've always dreamed of
    I knew I'd really seen love
    A long and lasting love
    Is what I've always dreamed of
    My long and lasting love

    Christmas Hot Rod Race
    Performer(s): Lead Foot Four



    You've heard the story of the hot rod race
    where the Fords and the Mercury's were settin' the pace
    well here's one story you won't believe
    it happened late one Christmas Eve

    The kid who was driving that Model-A
    was headed back to Oklahoma for Christmas day
    when in the rear-view mirror there's a red light blinkin'
    "oh, my gosh, it's the cops" he's thinkin'

    Well he pushed it to the floor and let the motor unwind
    but that guy with the light pulled up right behind
    it was some custom model he had never seen
    candy apple red and satellite green

    The kid couldn't hear the engine and he thought he'd queer
    that this sled was powered by eight reindeer
    In the wink of an eye the old crate was passing
    that light was the lead deer's nose a'flashin'

    There was a chubby old gent at the wheel of this sled
    with a beard'n'a jumpsuit all of red
    smokin' a pipe and fairly blind
    he passed the kid like he wasn't even tryin'

    Well now the kid had raced against many cars
    and he wasn't scared of one looked like it was from Mars
    He would take anything, whether chop or stock
    with his racing cam and his fifty-four block

    Well that Model-A had what it took
    hit a hundred and ten, just past Holbrook
    the kid pulled alongside, said "you wanna go?"
    the cat with the beard just said "ho, ho, ho"

    Well they both were givin' it all it's worth
    the lead was passin' back-and forth
    'til they hit the mountains of New Mexico
    the road was covered with ice'n'snow

    Well that sled kept a-goin' but the kid started slippin'
    he had to slow down to keep from flippin'
    that snow's no good for his racing slicks
    yeah, the kid was just about out of tricks

    Well he thought that maybe he'd lost this race
    when the other guy slowed down the pace
    he was pullin' on the reins of them eight reindeer
    shiftin' 'em down into lower gear

    Well that cat kept'a putting the brakes to that sleigh
    when he was just a car length away
    he tossed a box right in the kid's lap
    it was a brand new set of spinner hubcaps

    The he dashed off so fast that a rock couldn't follow
    though the kid was sure that he heard him holler
    just before he nitro'd into space
    "Merry Christmas, thanks for the Hot Rod Race"

    À L'ombre Des Maris
    Composer(s): Georges Brassens
    Performer(s): Georges Brassens



    Les dragons de vertu n'en prennent pas ombrage
    Si j'avais eu l'honneur de commander aù bord
    A bord du Titanic quand il a fait naufrage
    J'aurais crié:"Les femm's adultères d'abord!"

    Ne jetez pas la pierre à la femme adultère
    Je suis derrière ...

    Car, pour combler les vœux, calmer la fievre ardente
    Du pauvre solitaire et qui n'est pas de bois
    Nulle n'est comparable à l'epouse inconstante
    Femmes de chefs de gar', c'est vous la fleur des bois

    Ne jetez pas la pierre à la femme adultère
    Je suis derrière...

    Quant à vous, messeigneurs, aimez à votre guise
    En ce qui me concerne, ayant un jour compris
    Qu'une femme adultère est plus qu'une autre exquise
    Je cherche mon bonheur à l'ombre des maris

    Ne jetez pas la pierre à la femme adultère
    Je suis derrière...

    À l'ombre des maris mais, cela va sans dire
    Pas n'importe lesquels, je les tri', les choisis
    Si madame Dupont, d'aventure, m'attire
    Il faut que, par surcroit, Dupont me plaise aussi!

    Ne jetez pas la pierre à la femme adultère
    Je suis derrière...

    Il convient que le bougre ait une bonne poire
    Sinon, me ravisant, je détale à grands pas
    Car je suis difficile et me refuse à boire
    Dans le verr; d'un monsieur qui ne me revient pas

    Ne jetez pas la pierre à la femme adultère
    Je suis derrière...

    Ils sont loins mes débuts ou, manquant de pratique
    Sur des femmes de flics je mis mon dévolu
    Je n'étais pas encore ouvert à l'esthétique
    Cette faute de gout je ne la commets plus

    Ne jetez pas la pierre à la femme adultère
    Je suis derrière...

    Oui, je suis tatillon, pointilleux, mais j'estime
    Que le mari doit être un gentleman complet
    Car on finit tous deux par devenir intimes
    A force, à force de se passer le relais

    Ne jetez pas la pierre à la femme adultère
    Je suis derrière...

    Mais si l'on tombe, hélas! sur des maris infames
    Certains sont si courtois, si bons si chaleureux
    Que, même apres avoir cessé d'aimer leur femme
    On fait encore semblant uniquement pour eux

    Ne jetez pas la pierre à la femme adultère
    Je suis derrière...

    C'est mon cas ces temps-ci, je suis triste, malade
    Quand je dois faire honneur à certaine pecore
    Mais, son mari et moi, c'est Oreste et Pylade
    Et, pour garder l'ami, je la cajole encore

    Ne jetez pas la pierre à la femme adultère
    Je suis derrière...

    Non contente de me dé plaire, elle me trompe
    Et les jours ou, furieux, voulant tout mettre à bas
    Je cri:"La coupe est pleine, il est temps que je rompe!"
    Le mari me suppli':"Non ne me quittez pas!"

    Ne jetez pas la pierre à la femme adultère
    Je suis derrière...

    Et je reste, et, tous deux, ensemble on se flagorne
    Moi, je lui dis:"C'est vous mon cocu préféré"
    Il me réplique alors:"Entre toutes mes cornes
    Celles que je vous dois, mon cher, me sont sacrées"

    Ne jetez pas la pierre à la femme adultère
    Je suis derrière...

    Et je reste et, parfois, lorsque cette pimbeche
    S'attarde en compagni' de son nouvel amant
    Que la nurse est sorti', le mari à la peche
    C'est moi, pauvre de moi! qui garde les enfants

    Ne jetez pas la pierre à la femme adultère

    Hot Rod Harry
    Composer(s): Martin Christian
    Performer(s): Johnny Bond



    Everybody make way for Hot Rod Harry
    of brains and cash I ain't got narry
    Gotta cravin' love for blazin' speed
    a whizzin' Lizzie, that's all I need

    Now who needs dough, that's what I say
    want somethin' bad enough, there's a will'n'a way
    Da big dump heap just south of town
    a lotta ol' cars just layin' around

    Snuck out late one Wednesday night
    so dark even ghosts were all outta sight
    found four old wheels and a frame t'boot
    won't look like much, but who gives a hoot

    Got a motor block from an old dump truck
    just my speed and just my luck
    took it all home plus a dozen tires
    got my hammer 'n' nails 'n' some bailin' wire

    Heard tell about a man of another day
    built a wonderful, wonderful one horse shay
    I'll do me the same, just give me the tools
    my mama didn't raise no idiots or fools

    Lotta hard work 'n' she's ready to roll
    I took to that thing like a weevil to a boll
    A friend of mine towed it t'the top of a hill
    a lotta smooth road 'n' it's all downhill

    I released the brake 'n' was under way
    sailing was smooth if I do so say
    At fifty per, got ta sizin' her up
    if I left sumpin' out, I'm a suck-eyed pup

    Sixty MPH, just look at them tires
    balanced so smooth 'n' the clutch's on fire
    our instrument's workin', cool as the snow
    this baby's a peach, beats walkin' you know

    I put her together like Edsels and Fords
    got me some old-timed running boards
    Eighty, then ninety, sailing along
    got fair piece from home, ain't nothin' goin' wrong

    Hit a hundert'n'ten at the foot of the grade
    as the builder of hot rods I've got it made
    a foot on the brake, I slowed her way down
    swung to a stop and turned 'er around

    Pulled up in the station and up to the pump
    hollered to the man, "Hey, man, fill 'er up"
    He grabbed the hose, started t'lookin' around
    scratchin' his head and snortin' around

    "I give up," the station man said
    "where's the gas cap?" (my face turned red)
    I knowed there was something, as my mind went blank
    I forgot to install a gasoline tank

    À L'ombre Bleue Du Figuier
    Composer(s): Michelle Senlis
    Performer(s): Jean Ferrat



    À l'ombre bleue du figuier
    Passent passent les étés
    À l'ombre bleue du figuier
    Passent passent ils sont passés

    J'étais comme les bergers
    Un chien fou sur les talons
    J'étais comme les bergers
    Moitié blé moitié chardon
    Voyant se lever le jour
    J'y croyais à chaque fois
    L'amour appelle l'amour
    J'étais prince je suis roi

    À l'ombre bleue du figuier
    Passent passent les étés
    À l'ombre bleue du figuier
    Passent passent ils sont passés

    Ivre comme les oiseaux
    J'étais poussé par le vent
    Ivre commes les oiseaux
    Je me suis cogné souvent
    J'allais cherchant dans la brume
    Une lampe ou un drapeau
    J'y ai laissé quelques plumes
    Mais j'ai gardé mon chapeau

    À l'ombre bleue du figuier
    Passent passent les étés
    À l'ombre bleue du figuier
    Passent passent ils sont passés

    À la bouche une chanson
    Dans mon coeur un amour fou
    À la bouche une chanson
    J'ai rêvé que jusqu'au bout
    On dira qui était-il
    Me jetant des roses-thé
    Moi je dormirai tranquille
    Heureux d'avoir pu chanter

    À l'ombre bleue du figuier
    Passent passent les étés
    À l'ombre bleue du figuier
    Passent passent ils sont passés

    Hopped Up Mustang
    Composer(s): Bill Romberger; Arlen Sanders
    Performer(s): Arlen Sanders



    Let me tell ya about my new steed
    built for comfort, just my speed
    Ford Mustang, modified to set the pace
    Man, I could hardly wait to get out'n'race

    It's got a 289 motor, with a special Cobra kit
    there ain't nothin' on the road that can even touch it
    It's got eight carburetors and it uses them all
    with a four-speed stick that just won't stall

    With that transistor iginition and power-pipe exhaust
    this is the machine that'll really get lost
    Everthing built to make it perform
    it may not be hot but it sure is warm

    We took delivery at the factory late one night
    it was purrin' like a kitten and movin' just right
    We pulled up on the freeway like it was goin' down hill
    and started passin' the sleds like they was standin' still

    Then all of a sudden, before I could bat an eye
    a Cadillac sedan passed me by
    Somebody said, like, "that's the wheels for me"
    but by then the tail lights was all I could see

    Well, these cats ribbed me for bein' behind
    so I started to make that Mustang unwind
    Pushed the foot-feed clear to the floor
    said "that's all there is, there ain't no more"

    Smoke was rollin' outta the back
    when I started to gain on that Cadillac
    I was sure I could catch him 'n' I hoped I could pass
    but by then I knew I'd be short on gas

    We went around a curve and passed a truck
    I pulled out my rabitt's foot, just for luck
    The fenders just missed the guardrail post
    the guy in the back was white as a ghost

    I glanced over at the chick on the other side
    her face was blue 'n' I thought she'd died
    But I wasn't worried, 'cause what the heck
    by now me 'n' that Caddy was neck-and-neck

    I guess they'd thought I'd lost my sense
    the telephone poles looked like a picket fence
    They said "slow down, I see spots
    the lines on the road just look like dots"

    Went around a corner with the tires on the side
    you could feel the tension, man, what a ride
    I said "hold on, I got a license to fly"
    and that Cadillac faded back and let me by

    Then I looked in the mirror 'n' saw somethin' comin'
    and I thought it was a plane by the way it was hummin'
    I'd been caught by a helicopter 'n' the CHP
    that was it, man, the end of me

    Well, they busted me and threw me in the can
    so there was nothin' I could do but call the old man
    He said "wail in jail, 'cause I won't bail"
    Dang me, he told me not to hop up that Mustang!

    A Load Of Hay
    Composer(s): Howard Barnes - Michael Feahy - Ethelbert Nevin
    Performer(s): Doris Day



    Lovely day on top of a load of hay
    All the world is millions of miles away
    The old grey mare will get us there
    She won't hurry and I should worry I haven't got a care

    I'm o.k. on top of a load of hay
    Hard at work with nothing to do all day
    My only view, a sky of blue
    Life is lovely because you told me you love me

    Sun slowly sinking, wish you were with me
    I'm thinking your arms around me
    Oh what a thrill it would be
    Every day on top of a load of hay

    I'm the queen of everything I survey
    The sun is bright, the world's alright
    I'm contented cause you've consented to marry me
    Life is lovely because you told me you love me

    Sun slowly sinking, wish you were with me
    I'm thinking your arms around me
    Oh what a thrill it would be
    Every day on top of a load of hay

    I'm the queen of everything I survey
    The sun is bright, the world's alright
    I'm contented 'cause you've consented to marry me
    I'm contented 'cause you've consented to marry me

    Hot Rod Rocket
    Composer(s): Charlie Ryan; W.S. Stevenson
    Performer(s): Charlie Ryan



    You heard of the Russians 'n' their man in space
    they say we're behind in this rocket race
    Well up in Washington they started thinkin'
    they needed the cat with the Hot Rod Lincoln

    'Cause he was half of the Hot Rod Race
    the Hot Rod Lincoln, 'n' the Burlington Chase
    "Pass the Russians" was their battle cry
    or they'll rule the world as well as the sky

    Now the kid that was drivin' that hopped up hack
    turned twenty-one just a while back
    He got a letter from his Uncle Sam
    he hopped in his rod & said "Here I Am"

    Down at Canavaral not long after that
    who should I see but the hot rod cat
    Boarded the missile with a smile on his face
    I knew right then there was gonna be a race

    When the hatch was shut on his channeled rod
    I heard him sing out to a gathered crowd
    "don't stand to close when I throttle her back
    man this rod is mean, like there ain't no slack"

    When the count-down came, later that day
    blasted off, he was up-and-away
    Screamed off the pad with his hot machine
    wastin' no time pouring on the steam

    Then all of a sudden, way up ahead
    he spied a Russian in his rocket red
    He pushed the button 'n' gave her a blast
    'n' went into orbit, and I do mean fast

    Passed old Jupiter, headed for Mars
    clippin' them off up there in the stars
    Commin' up fast, away out in space
    like, man, they was havin' a rocket race

    The Kid never frowned on an honest race
    as long as it was done in a proper place
    He gave her a blast, to make her unwind
    he was gainin' fast, commin' up from behind

    He was hummin' along at a frantic clip
    'cause there was no speed limit on this trip
    The cat in the Lincoln was takin' a ride
    'n' him 'n' that Russian was side-by-side

    There wasn't a crowd out there in space
    him 'n' that Sputnik was havin' a race
    He figgered that he could get enough force
    to steer the Russian off'n his course

    Heading for the sun, where it's good 'n' hot
    so he blasted off just one more pot
    Eased over beside him, and crowded him out
    sure enough the Russian had'a turn 'em about

    Countries are bettin', and the stakes are high
    on just who is gonna rule the sky
    Now this is not the end of this here race
    'cause that hot rod cat's still out in space

    We haven't heard lately, but we will soon
    that hot rod cat's headed for the moon
    Time stands still when you're out in space
    but man we're havin' a rocket race

    and multiple other artists



    For I bring a little white gardenia
    As refreshing as a day in May
    You may wear it if you care
    Or toss it away

    If you look into this white gardenia
    There's a message there I dare not say
    That I'll let this little white gardenia convey

    Who knows tomorrow we may be
    Together or so far apart
    Take this token of my love
    Cherish it and keep it close to your heart

    If our paths should ever cross again dear
    Accidentally, or by fate designed
    If you wear a little white gardenia
    I'll know you are mine

    Who knows tomorrow we may be
    Together or so far apart
    Take this token of my love
    Cherish it and keep it close to your heart

    If our paths should ever cross again dear
    Accidentally, or by fate designed
    If you wear a little white gardenia
    I'll know you are mine

    X-15
    Composer(s): Johnny Bond
    Performer(s): Johnny Bond



    Gather 'round you cat's 'n' you'll hear
    about a race I had in the stratosphere
    Ol' Joe had a slick jet, I mean
    and I flew a souped-up X-15

    Now don't tune me out, I know what you're a-thinkin'
    'n I ain't gonna bug ya with no Hot Rod Lincoln
    No, that was a long time ago
    by my grandad back in nineteen six-oh

    But now it's a-nineteen'n'ninety seven
    we raced our jets next door to heaven
    So if you're ready I'll start at the top
    once I get a-goin' I won't wanna stop

    Well they fastened our jets up under the wing
    of one of them big B70 things
    lifted us up to 80,000 feet
    where the atmosphere and the stratosphere meet

    Well, they cut us loose, and we cut away out
    broke the sound barrier, there's not doubt
    Gave her the gun, heard the motors purr
    revved her up to 4,000 per

    Off to my left, ol' Joe was a-whistlin'
    he was doin' okay in that rocket of hizzin'
    it was half past two when we left Nevada
    now passin' below, Denver, Colorada

    I noticed I was fallin' a little behind
    so I thought I'd make this ol' turtle unwind
    This little baby is sweeter than sweet
    at a hundred and forty-four thousand feet

    Now this X-15 is a goin' thing
    got two little stubs, they call it a wing
    won't help you much if the motor stalls
    hey, lookie below, Niagra Falls

    I kept goin' up on a two-degree course
    ol' Joe kept comin', he weren't ridin' no horse
    I noticed my (?) was a-makin' commotion
    about the time we reached the Atlantic ocean

    Now 'long about here, supposed to turn 'em around
    and gather more speed as we angle 'em down
    Sumpin' had happened, I heard a loud pop
    looked out in time to see both motors stop

    Now this little dip wasn't wrote in the script
    when them jets went out I nearly quit
    'cause when this dang thing starts to fall
    it floats like a two-ton cannonball

    Wait just a minute, sumpin' wrong here
    this thing ain't fallin', goin' high in the air
    faster'n'faster, the higher we go
    how we gonna get down, man I don't know

    Well we circled the Earth in three hours flat
    yes I'm in orbit, no doubt about that
    here I sit, just circlin' in space
    what's that?
    Don't ask me, I don't know who won the race
