Carole King

Spaceship races

Baby, you're so frazzled
Spinnin' around in a busby swirl
With all that razzle dazzle
I know at heart you want a down home girl.

Ah you know I wanna take to the spaceship races
Watch you do a few laps around the sun
But if you don't go in for far out places
I'll take you home with me
When the day is done.

Baby, you're so scattered
Your span of attention is shrinkin' fast
Your brain's been battered
By all the disappointments of the recent past.

Ah you know I wanna take to the spaceship races
Watch you do a few laps around the sun

But if you don't go in for far out places
I'll take you home with me.

Didn't I see you walkin' on Main Street
Lookin' in windows, waitin' by turnstyles
Thinkin' of things you thought you'd like to buy.

Livin' off dreams, stored up in film cans
Lookin' at screens just waitin' your turn while
You looked up and saw a rocket in the sky.

Ah you know I wanna take to the spaceship races
Watch you do a few laps around the sun
But if you don't go in for far out places
I'll take you home with me
When the day is done
When the day is done
