Bright Side of the Universe

Words & lyrics, 1981

Sitting in a railway station
Waitin' for the trains to come
Waitin' in the space port
For the rocket ships to run
Waitin' on the moon
For the Jupiter Express
I'm thinking of you
Just thinking of you

Up here on Neptune
The sun's so far away
And I'm so very cold
So far from your embrace
This asteroid's so bare
I long to get back home
I'm thinking of you
Still thinking of you

Buy me a ticket to the bright side of the universe
Buy me a ticket to the light side of your life
Buy me a ticket to where ever we may go together
I'm thinking of you
Just thinking of you

Cutting ice from the ring's of Saturn's
Always gotten me down
And the whiskey from the dives of Mars
Could never bring me 'round
When this here contract's over
I'm headin' for the sun
Thinking of you
Just thinking of you

Buy me a ticket to the bright side of the universe
Buy me a ticket to the light side of your life
Buy me a ticket to where ever we may go together
I'm thinking of you
Just thinking of you

Up here in outer space the real estate is cheap
We could buy a planet for the price of winter heat
Then I see you walking, your hair blowing free
I want to go home Just want to go home, to you

There are those men who love
Deep space I think it's true
Captain Kirk and Spock, Han Solo
Chewbacca too
But when it comes to me
I'm a child of the earth
Dreaming of you
Just dreaming of you

Buy me a ticket to the bright side of the universe
Buy me a ticket to the light side of your life
Buy me a ticket to where ever we may go together
I'm thinking of you
Just thinking of you

Just thinking of you
Thinking of you
