Whimsical Ziggy Starman Space Odyssey

Oh 
Your whimsical 
Words and whiles and ways 
Are like Vaseline on a chapped baby's bum
Or camomile on sunburn skin
Conservative journeys traversing the vacuum 
On the dark side of the moon
Only the true believers 
Are destined to see
If Apollo goes to plan
And the shuttle lands
The future is in your hands
Fire up the marching band
And make a stand
For a return to mother earth
Re-entering in a blaze of firework glory
The countdown where Rockets left
Sound a crack of warrant thunder
No more under
The spell of magic
The whimsical reside
Man has been to the other side 
And there is no going back
The heaven's are no longer black
Back to the motherland 
Where the only thing to fear
Is conquering army's 
That fund exploration
