What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide,
2
Nothing worth doing that I haven't tried.
3
There ain't no living on planet-side,
4
Come on with me, baby, on a rocket ride.
5
How many cities crumble into dust
6
At the first atomic attack?
7
How many self-aware, wise, and just
8
Computers will we have to hack?
9
How many super cars will turn to rust
10
Cause we don't have a spare or a jack?
11
Give me technology that we can trust,
12
And give it fins like a Cadillac.
13
I want a shining tower of glass and steel,
14
A rubber jumpsuit and a freeze dried meal,
15
The will to survive, the need to explore,
16
The love of adventure, who could ask for more?
17
I want you, baby, right by my side,
18
Help me get out before my brain is fried.
19
The stars are waiting, so big and wide,
20
Come on with me, baby, on a rocket ride.
21
Come on with me, baby, on a rocket ride.
22
How many demons out in cyberspace
23
Will possess every hacker's will?
24
How many members of a master race
25
Will come closing in for the kill?
26
How many xenomorphs will change their face,
27
And then hunt us down for a thrill?
28
Give me a villain with style and grace,
29
And a little bit of fencing skill.
30
They used to be angular, sneering and bald,
31
When someone got killed even they were appalled,
32
They tried to marry the heroine, no thought of rape,
33
And they sure as hell knew how to wear a cape.
34
They never tortured, they never lied,
35
They'd honor a promise if it meant they'd die.
36
Let's find a villain with professional pride,
37
Come on with me, baby, on a rocket ride.
38
Come on with me, baby, on a rocket ride.
39
Terminators, Life Force, Robot jocks, Predators,
40
Lots of things that know how to flense,
41
Defenestrate them out the doors, gimme gimme Star Wars,
42
Bring back the Children of the Lens.
43
Puppet Master, Child's Play, Fright Night, Judgment Day,
44
Jason, Freddy, Michale, and Stripe,
45
Let Frankenstein, Ardeth Bey, and Kong chase them all away,
46
The Movie Snatchers' pods are overripe.
47
I want more than action and special effects,
48
To think about what might happen next,
49
A hero, not a weapons shop with pecs,
50
A heroine, not an excuse for sex.
51
I want a bubble helmet matting down my hair,
52
The ground giving way to the open air,
53
The joy and wonder as I head out there,
54
And I know that I can have it, if I only dare...
55
How many bodybuilding macho jerks
56
Will blow everything full of holes?
57
How many imitation Captain Kirks
58
Will spill beer on the ship's controls?
59
How many stupid personality quirks
60
Will we see instead of souls?
61
Give me my baby and a ship that works,
62
And give us the starring roles.
63
I wanna cruise the galaxy at FTL,
64
Pursuing Heaven and defying Hell,
65
I want to do everything that a man can do,
66
And I want to do it all out there with you.
67
Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide,
68
Nothing worth doing that I haven't tried.
69
There ain't no living on planet-side,
70
Come on with me, baby, on a rocket ride.
71
Come on with me, baby, on a rocket ride.
72
The future is here, it can't be denied
73
Don't let our loving be cut and dried.
74
I need you baby, right by my side,
75
Come on with me, baby, on a rocket ride.
76
Come on with me, baby, on a rocket ride.
77
Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide,
78
Nothing worth doing that I haven't tried.
79
There ain't no living on planet-side,
80
Come on with me, baby, on a rocket ride.
81
Come on with me, baby, on a rocket ride.
82
Come on with me, baby, on a rocket ride.
83
Come on with me, baby, on a rocket ride.
