[Verse 2] I don’t even know where we are But they tell us we’re circling a star. Well I’ll take their word for I don’t know But I’m dizzy so maybe that’s so. [Instrumental verse] Hum Verse [Instrumental bridge] [Verse 3] I’m riding a big blue ball I never dream I may fall. But even the high must lay low So when I do fall I’ll be glad to go. [Instrumental verse] Hum verse Hum verse hum verse instrumental verse and fade
