lyrics

Oh Rocket 99
We hope you’re feeling fine
You’re way off course from where you ought to be
Your dials are in the red
Was it something that we said
Or are you chasing something we can’t see?

You left the Earth one day
We sent you on your way
With all the hope and goodwill we could give
But now you’re far from home
You must feel all alone
And we are all just praying that you live

Oh Rocket 99
Will you give us a sign
We’re all so worried that you’re gone for good
We’ll back up to the wall
And wait for you to call
So we’d be oh so thankful if you would

You must have gone astray
From being far away
But all of us think all the world of you
If you’ll just hurry back
Then we’ll be right on track
So please be sure to tell us if you do

Oh Rocket 99
Our dreams are on the line
Cause 98 plus one is all we’ve got
If you don’t turn around
We’ll stay here on the ground
And fade away upon this pale blue dot

SOLO

Oh Rocket 99
We hope you’re feeling fine
You’re way off course from where you ought to be
Your dials are in the red
Was it something that we said
Or are you chasing something we can’t see?
Or are you chasing something we can’t see?
