Excuse me friend   Can you tell me when   Did I sign up for this race   There's not an end   And no one wins   Yet you fight to keep the pace   Maybe I'll find a home in the heavens   Hitch a ride on a shooting star      [Chorus]   Leave this place for outer space   We can rent a little house on Venus   And get closer to the sun      There's always light   There is no night   We can watch the earth revolve   There's only friends   And innocence, there'd no conflicts to resolve      Leave behind everything you think matters   Don't delay once you're there you will see      [Chorus]      Welcome aboard, get comfortable   Your maiden journey's just begun   Just close your eyes   Enjoy the ride   We're getting closer to the sun      [Chorus]      Excuse me friend   Can you tell me when   Did I sign up for this race
