You play the game I'll masturbate and sing a lullaby You run the race I'll pay the miles You sing the pink love fuzz And dance the musty queer I'll stay at home ‘cause I'm the mouse So high that I can't fly More deep than space number nine Can't tell time by telling time She's so ready I'm so heavy It's so heavy on me Can't hold time by holding time Barbarella Come and save me from my misery Can't you see it's a disease Shoot the bad guys And I'll gladly sing a tune for you Lost in space-we could be free Let go, let God they say I do believe but not in yours or yours I just believe it's all the same Don't know just who I am Don't know about the lamb I'm the meat of the feast Barbarella Come and save me from my misery Can't you see it's a disease Shoot the bad guys And I'll gladly sing a tune for you Lost in space-we could be free Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na And all the tangerines They taste like jelly beans This must be boring by now Grab a scale and guess the weight of all The pain I've given with my name I'm a selfish piece of shit Barbarella Come and save me from my misery Can't you see it's a disease Shoot the bad guys And I'll gladly sing a tune for you Lost in space-we could be free Barbarella Come and save me from my misery Can't you see it's a disease Shoot the bad guys And I'll gladly sing a tune for you We'll watch Lost in Space on my TV
