Misfits

Up in that new space station

Living Kennedy's dream

There was an automatic camera

Shooting elephantine.

Well the crew was relaxing

Before the video screen

Watching old re-runs

Of Mohammed Ali.

The voice of Houston callin'

Brought them back to the scene

Except the sky is fallin'

Do you know what that means?

Out on that Texas sidewalk

Through the hotel mezzanine

There walked a see-thru' hooker

To a suite with two TVs.

But by the elevator

She began to sneeze

With an attack so uncontrolled

It brought her to her knees.

And then the hotel doctor

With nurse and stethoscope

Announced the worst is over

But for her there is no hope.

Way down in South Dakota

On the Needles Highway

There's a lone red rider

On the road today.

And though his war is over

He's fightin' on anyway

Although he's seldom sober

He's drinking whisky all day.

Down in that old box canyon

Where only misfits can go

He rides with no companion

But saloon and rodeo.

Up in that new space station

Living Kennedy's dream

There's an automatic camera

Shooting elephantine.

Well the crew is relaxing

Before the video screen

Watching old re-runs

Of Mohammed Ali.

The voice of Houston callin'

Brought them back to the scene

Except the sky is fallin'

Do you know what that means?
