[Verse 1]
Makes my hair stand up on end
Something alien happening
Synchronize but don't comprehend
Because where I stop that's where you begin!
Another moment I commit
A pleasure as I'm gonna' take the hit
And I'm addicted to the state you're in
'Cause you're getting me out of it!

[Chorus]
Wasted, there's nothing going to ace this
And were gonna go to space kid
'Cause I'm leaving with an astronaut!

[Verse 2]
Grooving out to X-ray specs
Something tells me your the alien sex
I can't imagine now what comes next
When this astronaut connects!
Coming on when I touch your skin
A kind of strange light you emit
I hear you're gravity pull me in
Now your getting me out of it!

[Chorus]
Wasted, there's nothing going to ace this
And were gonna go to space kid
'Cause I'm leaving with an astronaut!

[Chorus]
Wasted, there's nothing going to ace this
And were gonna go to space kid
'Cause I'm leaving with an astronaut!

[Bridge]
There, feat for quantum leap
Because space is hot and deep
And we follow giant footprints
As we fall in, falling like the twins
Through Saturn's holy rings
And if they can't hold us, where it's gonna end up
Anybody knows?

An astronaut
An astronaut

[Chorus]
Wasted, there's nothing going to ace this
And were gonna go to space kid
'Cause I'm leaving with an astronaut!

[Chorus]
Wasted, there's nothing going to ace this
And were gonna go to space kid
'Cause I'm leaving with an astronaut!

[Outro]
An astronaut
An astronaut
An astronaut
An astronaut
An astronaut

DURAN DURAN has a total of over 80 million records sold, 18 American hit singles, 30 UK top 30 tunes, and a global presence which guarantees them huge concert audiences on five continents. They’ve managed to fuse pop music, art, technology and fashion with a unique sense of style and confidence. Princess Diana also admitted that Duran Duran was her favourite Band among others.

Bassist John Taylor has said the original vision for the band’s sound was ‘to fuse the Sex Pistols and Chic’ after hearing those two bands back-to-back on a pub jukebox one night.
