lyrics
Oh how I must get away
I've been stuck in this hellhole for days
My eyes are sore, and my brain is sludge
I wish I had some of that New England fudge
I wish I could travel to an alien shore
Bathing under two suns, you need sunscreen galore
Dagobah's dirty, and Vulcan's too serious
The methane on Saturn makes me delirious
Travelling here, travelling there
Fares are low, 'cause I got miles to spare
Travelling there, travelling here
Trying to get out of the atmosphere
Trouble with tribbles, Klingons about
Take a much needed alternate route
Or curl up on the couch with a growler of stout
Don't fly too high, or you might pass out
Travelling here, travelling there
Fares are low, 'cause I got miles to spare
Travelling there, travelling here
Trying to get out of the atmosphere
