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 L-5   I want to stay in L-5      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 L-5   I want to stay in L-5   Save me a place in L-5   Give me some space in L-5      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
