  • 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 Writer/s: SCOTT RICHARD WEILAND, TONY CASTANEDA

  • Stéphan Pilon from Laval, QuébecWell, when a song sounds a lot like Bowie's "Five Years", it can only be good too!
