Space Girl

by The Imagined Village

on Empire & Love (2010)

My mama told me I should never venture into space,
But I did, I did, I did,
She said no terran girl could trust the martian race,
But I did, I did, I did.

A rocket pilot asked me on a voyage to go,
And I was so romantic, and I couldn't say no
That he was just a servo robot how was I to know?
So I did, I did, I did.

She told me never venture out among the asteroids
But I did, I did, I did.
And she said that the Milky Way was something to avoid
So I did, I did, I did.
She said that Venus was too hot and Saturn not much fun
And bug-eyed monsters tended to be just a trifle dumb.
She said I'd need a blaster and I'd need a freezer gun
And I did, I did, I did.

My mama told me never trust a space engineer
And yes, I did, I did, I did.
She said freefall and superdrive would surely cost me dear
And yes, they did, they did, they did.
I've been as far in hyperspace as anybody can,
I've travelled through the time warp in the Psycho Plan.
They say a gal must travel for to find her superman
And yes, I did, I did, I did
And yes, I did, I did, I did.
Oh, I did, I did, I did.
Oh...
