lyrics

tom the robin went to space
he was tired of the human race
that the world was running at the speed of light
so he sped away into the night

everything came in last place
no longer could he stand the pace
so he flew through the inky void
to find a place to be employed

twelve meals a day can't beat the milky way
it's sunny like today and yesterday

he journeys among the stars
one with the cosmos now
mercury and saturn surround him
with their rays

no longer one of ours
surrendered to the universe
jupiter and neptune
are inviting him to play

tom the robin also ran
quick in the eye, a flash in the pan
he couldn't outrun the machine
that destroyed the track and crushed the green

got himself a house on mars
a nice little place with a view of the stars
the rent is high but it's better than here
it's quiet and dark and nobody's near

it rained and rained until it stopped
the rainforest drowned and the pipes are blocked

the robin that went to space
isn't coming back again
