I've told you 'bout livin' in
the U.S. of A.
Don't you know that I'm a
gangster of love
Let me tell you people
that I've found a new way
And I'm tired of all this talk
about love
And the same old story
with a new set of words
About the good
and the bad and the poor
And the times keep on
changing
so I'm keepin' on top
Of every fat cat who walks
through my door
I'm a space cowboy
Bet you weren't ready for
that
I'm a space cowboy
I'm sure you know where
it's at yeah yeah yeah yeah
I was born on this rock
and I've been traveling
through space
Since the moment I
first realized
What all you fast talkin'
cat's would do if you could
You know I'm ready for the
final surprise
There ain't no way around it
Ain't nothing to say
That's gonna satisfy my
soul deep inside
All the players and
surveyors
Keep the whole place
uptight while it keeps on
gettin darker outside
I'm a space cowboy
Bet you weren't ready for
that
I'm a space cowboy
I'm sure you know where
it's at yeah yeah yeah yeah
I see the showdown
slowdown is lost and found
turnaround
The boys in the military
shirts
I keep my eyes on the prize
On the long fallin' skies
And I don't let my friends
get hurt
All you back room
schemers
Star trip dreamers
Better find something new
to say
'Cause your the same old
story
It's the same old crime
and you got some heavy
dues to pay
I'm a space cowboy
Bet you weren't ready for
that
I'm a space cowboy
I'm sure you know where
it's at
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
