Todd Rundgren: Space Force

People struggle everywhere you look It's written on their faces like an open book Emptiness or happiness, therein lies your heart People are so fragile, why is life so hard? Because the world is a puzzle So pick up the pieces Get them together again, one by one One by one One day life is beautiful Like living up in the stars The next day I say, "look out below" 'Cause I'm falling apart Emptiness or happiness, therein lies your heart People are so fragile, why is life so hard? Because the world is a riddle to everyone in it Nobody solves it the very first time Because the world is a riddle to everyone in it Nobody solves it the very first time (Keep on tryin')

We're going down with the ship We're going down, down, down, down with the ship It's all for one, and one for all, yeah We're going down with the ship On the Indian Ocean, lead a pirate crew We be twenty-seven days out of Mogadishu Now there's something gone wrong, we got red skies at dawn Can't find the captain, and the lifeboat's gone Here we come Davy Jones, here we come Here we come Davy Jones, lookout below Here we come Davy Jones, here we come Here we come Davy Jones, lookout below Now the sea is a rockin' like an angry bitch We be leakin' like a sieve, and we run out of pitch Now we prayin' to the Lord, how we stay afloat? With a three-meter a hole in the bottom of the boat

I'm not just a pretty face On the cover You can trust me now When you lose yourself in the crowd Oh take me with you when you walk down the street I'm captivating and light on my feet Every new beginning, oh the song's like a secret smile On the face of a lover You can have me now As the chords are cascading down There is an artist in residence There is an artist in residence And he'll be with you now And where it's going is a mystery, yeah But it's passing by with a familiar scent And it's always been the way to radiate special light In the eyes of my brother When we harmonize Everything will be all right And when it happens, it's like time floats free Feels like forever for you and for me It's an expression of a feeling I can never speak For the life of another But I'm with you now So switch off and settle down There is an artist in residence There is an artist in residence There is an artist in residence And he'll be with you now And I am with you now

I'm not gonna wait around for someday If someday's too far away I don't want to have to wait for someday Tell me what's the big delay? Could be Friday, Saturday A month of Sundays If I go ahead to have it your way Could be anything you say Isn't it already someday? Isn't it already time? Isn't it already someday?

Let it bleed Let it be Mother Mary, I'm on my knees I'm like a smokestack in the wind It seems I've spread myself pretty thin And now the bank has took all I own One more bad check, it's all gone It's all gone Thank you, Jesus Thank you, Lord For all these gifts that I can't afford And take that pretty thing in my bed Just let me fuel my truck instead 'Cause if the Holy Ghost don't appear I'm on the next train outta here I'm out of here And there were moments in the night I could've chewed the curtains And for the first time in my life I think I knew for certain I'm not your dog Your whipping boy Your squeaky toy I'm not your ashtray, ashtray heart Your ashtray heart I'm not your swag Your piece of meat I'm not your freak I'm not the extra, extra cog In some big wheel I'm not your dog Puppy beg now Puppy heel Bring it on, y'all, I can deal What if the centipede lost a leg? To make an omelet, break some eggs And I'm delirious, happy now Just like your other fine Puppy Chow Puppy Chow Now I patrol your garden fence I've learnt to feign obedience But in my mind, I still run free Along the marshes and the beach

I thought that there could be Some kind of privacy A place for you and me Where we could just be we Without no espionage See, I can see it They watchin' me Hey, I can feel it They watchin' me I can see that I can't be A kind of entity Where we don't need to be Worried 'bout espionage Champagne popsicles, no campaign obstacles, lots of truth, 'til our soul pops the noose My life's like a block of proof, give you four parts like wifi mixed with Olive Oyl Popeye then I disappear like poof Genie at the lamp line up in a gold tooth, I'm a fuckin' cartoon, all I see is a box around me, everything on loop Introductions so classic sounding, me and sandhill like the fountain of youth Treat you like our sons like an aunt will, ain't a hype that you can't kill, Omar like mad chill The sun don't chill a law, white supremacy might kill a law, but it still can't kill Allah Feeling it, feeling it...

It was bad enough before the circus came When the local shrew thought that she had a brain Now we all gotta listen to that dog-faced bark Like she's the god damn Einstein of the trailer park Your mamma done raised a knucklehead Your mamma done raised a fool Your mamma should have closed her legs instead of Breeding a loud-mouthed clown like you Shut up liar, the stuff you say Shut up liar, the stuff you do Shut up liar, STFU, STFU Shut the fuck up Shut up liar, the stuff you play Shut up liar, the stuff you spew Shut up liar, STFU, STFU Shut the fuck up Shut the fuck up It was bad enough before they fed that chimp Any stupid theory 'bout why he was limp Now we all gotta listen to that gas bag blow Like some kind of white trash Michelangelo Your daddy gotta be ecstatic Your daddy gotta be so proud Your daddy only wanted a little prick To holler the quiet thought out loud

I see your reflections Oh wherever I go Where do they come from? Oh, I really don't know My head is in the ocean Say goodbye to all emotions And away we fall without plans All sinking to the bottom Pain seems to hit me Oh whenever I wait Guilt never stops me When I make the mistake I'm closer to the ending So please don't start pretending And away we fall without plans All sinking to the bottom I'm falling in Oh, oh, oh

I still recall just what my mama said "You need an old-fashioned girl who makes breakfast in bed" And you are that and everything But then I must confess The bacon is burnt, and the eggs are a mess That's why I'm leaving the garden I'm sorry, but I have to go Oh darling, I'm sorry, but I have to Everything about you is as good as it gets You know just how I like it, especially the sex I should be happy as a king I would make you my wife But you can't even boil water to save your own life Or you could maybe learn to fry up some SPAM Don't know a pot from a pan Well right now my lovin' isn't on the table We gotta make it up as we go along Now that my lovin' isn't on the table We gotta make it on up, make it on up, oh One of us has got to learn to work in the kitchen But at this rate we’ll starve to death And that's why I'm bitchin' That's why I'm bitchin' baby That's why I'm bitchin' yeah That's why I'm bitchin' baby That's why I'm bitchin' yeah
