Lyrics
On the inner ring of the arm of orion/just a speck in the universe just an ion/ in the grand scheme of things/ life is just a dream/insignificant
magnificently bling/a gaudy diamond ring on a cheap hookers finger/intergalactic planetary dead ring a dead man's chest/a blind god's jest/the scale of it all appalls and causes distress/to the best of the slackers/the worst of the sleaze/i'm eatin my crackers with that space age cheese spread/messin with my head this is a nuclear sandwich/my brain goes boom blowin straight of the planet/black hole singularity finally got me/now i'm floatin in the stars like some cosmic debris/ castaway in the deep dark depths of space/the stars hold my soul in their cold embrace
HOOK
Lost in the stars
A bug in a jar
Motes in a remote joke is all we are
Floatin in the sky
Hopin when we die
Somebody out there has a rope and knows why
Just one star among somethin like a billion/I'd like to hitch a ride like arthur dent and trillian/get lost in the delta quadrant with seven of nine/in that skin tight one piece suit she's so fine/I'm Rhyming my way across manifold space/Like Malenfant representin the human race/Learnin from the universe - universtiy of life/unravelling the secrets travelling light/I seen the sights all around our own big milky way/all the way from perseus to Sagittarius A/I ain't seen nobody we seem to be alone/the fermi paradox got me boxin my dome/Is this the only home of intelligent life in the sky?/If it ain't then you gotta ask yourself the big why/ 93 billion light years from side to side/if the aliens are out there where the hell do they hide?
