 Hey kid, I got a ride for you
 ( )  ( )
 They say you're brain is a comic book tattoo, and you'll never be
Anything
What  will you do  with your life,  oh that's
All  you hear from noon  'til night
 (CHORUS)
Take  a trip on a rocketship,  baby
(Where)  the sea is the sky
I  know the guy who runs  the place, and he's
Oo--ut  of sight.
Flying Dutchman, are  you out there?
Flying Dutchman, are  you out there?
Flying Dutchman...

Milky  Way was dressed  in black

 'Cause  they can't see  what you're born  to be
 They can't see--  me

 (Vamp: )  2X
Keep  the boy spinning in their own  little world, Aa--ah, Aa--ah
Tie  him up, so he won't  say a word, Aa--ah, Aa--ah
Keep  the boy spinning in their own  little world, Aa--ah, Aa--ah
So  afraid he'll be what they  never were, Aa--ah... ahh

They  can't see, they  can't see,
You  know, you know, you're jumping from a high jump
Hide  your love, hide  your love
So  many know, you know, but them, they can't see...
