'L5' by New England - Lyrics by Todd Rundgren
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 L5
I want to stay in L5
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 L5
I want to stay in L5
Save me a place in L5
Give me some space in L5
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
