[Verse 1]
Spaced in time, child of nine
Doing 20 years on the way
Fire and steel, Earth unreal
Find another planet to stay
Papa died, ma survived
Telling me about her ordeal
And the soul she could not feel
'Cause they made her so unreal

[Verse 2]
Lightning years, disappears
20 million years on my brain
Synthesize, overrides
Trying to keep from going insane
And my soul, I cannot feel
'Cause they made me so unreal

[Chorus]
Spaced enough to know I feel there's nothin' out there
Spaced enough to know I feel I really don't care
Spaced enough to feel I'm really losing my mind

[Verse 3]
And I'm never never never never ever going back
I'm off the track
No one even knows I'm alive
Spaced, without a trace
Waiting for the word to arrive
I'm the last man to survive

Aerosmith is an American rock band, sometimes referred to as “The Bad Boys from Boston” and “America’s Greatest Rock and Roll Band.” Formed in 1970, its founding members are Steven Tyler (vocals, keyboards, harmonica), Tom Hamilton (bass), Joey Kramer (drums), Joe Perry (guitar, vocals) and Brad Whitford (guitar).

The band released their eponymous debut studio album in 1973 featuring the single “Dream On,” which remains one of their most popular songs. Their next four albums made them rock stars across the US and Canada, spawning the hits “Sweet Emotion”, “Last Child”, “Walk This Way”, “Back In The Saddle”, “Draw The Line”, and a cover of “Come Together” for the Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band Soundtrack.

Before the release of their fifth album Draw The Line, the band’s substance abuse began to destroy them. Perry quit after a backstage fight with Tyler in 1979, and Whitfield left two years later. Despite moderate sales, the band’s fifth and sixth albums were considered flops when compared to the band’s past accomplishments. When Perry and Whitfield returned in 1984, their eighth album Done With Mirrors was also deemed unsuccessful despite strong reviews. Doug Herzog (MTV, VH1)
