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
