Space Cowboy
I'm just a space cowboy
A vintage light-year jump-ship is my
pride and joy
I'm still slinging that old six-string
I found in a time capsule when I was fifteen

The universe is a beautiful thing
But that ain't nothing if I can't sing

I'm just an intergalactic folk fanatic
I've got no use for the android arts
It takes a human voice to sing from the heart

Circuitry is an elegant thing but
The sound of old wood is what I bring

I may settle down one day
But for now a café's calling me in
Centauras A
The tips are good and the waitress fine
Her transparent skin will blow your mind

The universe is an interesting place
I think you can tell by the smile on my
face
