They like they was Rangers as they came out of the skies They had High-Tech with beacons in their eyes My gun was cocked and ready when I into their face I seen they just weren't common buck-a-roos born of the human race No, sir, these Cowboys from space
Their shootin' irons shot laser light and spurs was anodized Bandanas with stardust and their jeans was pressurized he handed me a halter, said, "Tighten up the girth." But before I hit the saddle we miles above the Earth. And I mean MILES the Earth
I seen London, Paris, Budapest, and Tokyo And there no sight like a desert night looking down on Mexico To the Moons of Mars and Jupiter, Saturn's rings we rode the frozen plains of Pluto where even the sunshine's cold Man, I do COLD
Then our stallions sailed through the starless void There was nothing to miss in that emptiness, not a stray asteroid So we picked up the trail of a comet tail, man, you can't even that far And the beat like the rhythm of an old catgut guitar Just the strummin' of a star
