L-5

Yesterday a postman
Delivered to me
The pictures that I've longed to see
A special place

A wheel in the sky
Half a mile wide
Will they have a place for me
Up in space

I'm on my way to l5
I want to stay in l5

I'm about to empty
My savings account
Hope I have the right amount
To pay the fare

If I can't leave today
I might stow away
Hiding in a storage tank
I'll get there

I'm on my way to l5
I want to stay in l5
Save me a place in l5
Give me some space in l5

Paperwork in triplicate
And endless delays
Waiting for the departure day
I hope it's soon

If you hear from my wife
I've got a new life
Somewhere between this town
And the moon
