 Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!

Seems like it's been years since the budget cuts came on
But I know it's only 18 months gone by
I'm sure all the short timers have by now learned to move on
But us older jockeys simply ache to fly

A long haul freighter captain screaming through the sky
Hauling kilotons of H20
Thousands at the station count on you for their dear lives
So you're ready at a moment's call to go

All those nights my heart would palpitate
As the stars all rushing by upon the screen
Engines hum, we're running at Warp Eight
So tonight I'll fly my spaceship
Tonight I'll fly my spaceship
Tonight I'll fly my spaceship in my dreams

Hurling through the void to some distant foreign world
Becomes an addiction in itself
Now sitting here just land-locked in an office all alone
Becomes an itch that I just cannot scratch myself

I could have a dozen women if I choose to pay the time
They were easy enough to find in younger days
But you learn when you are traveling not to make permanent ties
And their faces blur into the black of space

But all those nights my heart would palpitate
As the stars all rushing by upon the screen
Engines hum, we're running at Warp Eight
So tonight I'll fly my spaceship
Tonight I'll fly my spaceship
Tonight I'll fly my spaceship in my dreams

La la la!

So now they've cut the crew back just to maintenance robots
And the freighters are just automated drones
No need for the expense of having humans ride along
So the captains sit and monitor from home

Guess I'll have to learn to face it that the good old days have gone
Even though I know I'll never understand
When you take the sense of purpose that a man has held so long
It robs his dignity, hand in hand

But all those nights my heart would palpitate
As the stars all rushing by upon the screen
Engines hum, we're running at Warp Eight
So tonight I'll fly my spaceship
Tonight I'll fly my spaceship
Tonight I'll fly my spaceship in my dreams
