I was eight years old
When my Dad died
I saw his ship explode on TV live
Didn't make it through
Earth's atmosphere
Space pioneer
On the last frontier
No
Mom was so heart-broken
She took her life
Losing him, then her
Cut me like a knife
I didn't have any next of kin
Different foster homes took me in
My Bud Lightyear toy was my only friend
My Bud Lightyear toy was my only friend
I miss my Dad
I miss my Mom
Fall-out after an atomic bomb
Alone and lonely
Not good in my skin
School of hard knocks
Take it on the chin
My Bud Lightyear toy
They took it away
Said I was too old
No more time for play
At school I tried
Never quite fit in
But was good at sports
With the rage to win
Good with computers
Not with humans
Didn't mix with the other students
Thought I was a rock, was an island
Thought I was a rock, was an island
Into my life there shone no light
The black dog came for me at night
Didn't feel I could persevere
My future was uncertain and unclear
Felt I'd already paid too high a price
No-one to turn to for advice
Eight years now my Dad's been dead
I know what he would have said
Fall, rise again
Never give in
I wish I could be Bud Lightyear for real
Leave this Earth behind
At last be free
Outer space is where I belong
Like Dad, infinity and beyond
Outer space is where I belong
Like Dad, infinity and beyond
