Space Opera Lyrics by Sheldon Allman

Folk Songs for the 21st Century

1960

The distance to the farthest star is known to be immense
And yet I make a wish and yes my wish is so intense
The light years go by like the pickets on a picket fence
In the space opera

The aliens attack us and they push the ship off course
I grab a coil of wire and the front shoe of a horse
Two bottle caps, a magnet and we've got a wall of force
In the space opera

The galaxy menaced by monsters
Who drive through us invincibly
And only one man has the answer
The man who can save us is me
Because of radiation at my birth I was a sport
A speeded up mutation of the finer cleaner sort
I wasn't really born they poured me out of a retort

In the space opera
In the space opera
In the space opera
In the space opera
