Maggie Jane has a family And makes a good salary Her life is quite ordinary Except for her astronaut dreams They happen when she is sleeping They happen when she s awake They come like abductors who sneak in And carry poor Maggie away Suddenly Maggie Jane is floating high in space Up among the super novi and the bright nebulae And the earth is just another point of light, far away Keep busy say the doctors Clean house, turn on the TV And they give her pills to stop her From having her astronaut dreams But the Universe still keeps calling And haunting her daily routine And defenses are slim when the light years creep in And then steal her away beyond reach Suddenly Maggie Jane is floating high in space Up among the super novi and the bright nebulae And the earth is just another point of light, far away And that world of her work and her bills and her children Is a tiny place in a remote solar system And the size and the scope of the space where she floats Is so big, so very big So if you run into Maggie And meet with an eerie stare Don t think she s cold if you get no hello Because Maggie Jane may not be there
