<i>Vocals: Arjen Anthony Lucassen</i>
I was impressed like everyone when man began to fly Out of earthly regions to planets in the sky With total media coverage we watched the heroes land As ceremoniously they disturbed the cosmic sand I awe with admiration we listened to the talk Such pride felt they, such joy to be upon the moon to walk My romantic vision shattered when it was explained to me Spacemen wear old diapers in which they shit and pee Oh the intergalactic laxative will get you from here to there Relieve you and believe me without a worry or care If shitting is your problem when you're out there in the stars The intergalactic laxative will get you from here to mars They don't partake like you and I of beefy burger mush Their food is specially prepared to dissolve into slush Absorbed my multi-fibers in the super diaper suit Otherwise the slush would trickle down inside the boot You may well ask now what becomes of liquid they consume A pipe is led from penis head to a unit in the room The water is recirculated, filtered for re-use In case of anti-gravity, pee gets on the loose Wherever man has conquered on the quest for frontiers new I'm glad he's always had to do the no. One and two It makes it all so ordinary just like you and me To know the greatest heroes they had to shit and pee! |
