Baby, you're so frazzled
Spinning around in a busby swirl
With all that razzle-dazzle
I know at heart you want a down-home girl
Oh, you know I want to take you to the spaceship races
Watch them do a few laps around the sun
But if you don't go in for far-off places
I'll take you home with me
When the day is done
Baby, you're so scattered
Your span of attention is shrinking fast
Your brain's been battered
By all the disappointments of the recent past
Oh, you know I want to take you to the spaceship races
Watch them do a few laps around the sun
But if you don't go in for far-off places
I'll take you home with me
Didn't I see you walking on Main Street
Looking in windows, waiting by turnstiles
Thinking of things
You thought you'd like to buy
Living off dreams stored up in film cans
Looking at screens just waiting your turn while
You looked up and saw a rocket in the sky
Oh, you know I want to take you to the spaceship races
Watch them do a few laps around the sun
But if you don't go in for far-off places
I'll take you home with me
When the day is done
When the day is done
