Up in that new space station Living Kennedy's dream There was an automatic camera Shooting elephantine. Well the crew was relaxing Before the video screen Watching old re-runs Of Muhammad Ali. The voice of Houston callin' Brought them back to the scene Except the sky is fallin' Do you know what that means? Out on that Texas sidewalk Through the hotel mezzanine There walked a see-through hooker To a suite with two TVs. But by the elevator She began to sneeze With an attack so uncontrolled It brought her to her knees. And then the hotel doctor With nurse and stethoscope Announced the worst is over But for her there is no hope. Way down in South Dakota On the Needles Highway There's a lone red rider On the road today. And though his war is over He's fightin' on anyway Although he's seldom sober He's drinking whisky all day. Down in that old box canyon Where only misfits can go He rides with no companion But saloon and rodeo. Up in that new space station Living Kennedy's dream There's an automatic camera Shooting elephantine. Well the crew is relaxing Before the video screen Watching old re-runs Of Muhammad Ali. The voice of Houston callin' Brought them back to the scene Except the sky is fallin' Do you know what that means?
