I’m an interplanetary traveler When I took the job I was too young to know What I would grow up to be What it would be like to be A woman in love
Well there’s nothing quite like leaping star to star In your interplanetary car There’s nothing like the ground beneath your feet rushing away And everything you see is fresh and new, waiting for you And everything you see is fresh and new
Well there’s nothing like a beautiful new face To fall in love with in each brand new place There’s nothing quite like learning how to love in a foreign tongue And everything you do to each other is new, a revelation And everything you do to each other is new
Well there’s something to be said for staying still But I don’t know if I ever will The traveler in me is just to strong, she’s pulling me on And everywhere I go I never know if I’ll find my way home And every time I leave you wouldn’t believe how hard it can be
So now my heart is battered like a shield Growing tougher every time it heals The engine turns and so I dry my eyes and take to the skies, one more time And every star I see is a love that I knew waiting for me And every star I see is a love that I knew waiting for me
