Earthman's drifting up in outer space Just to keep his wheel turning He's heading off to some other place Just to keep his engine burning Someone gets up on his feet again Just a pile of dust he's earning Cripple walks these lonely streets again Teacher spends his lesson learning Hold on to your fire Keep it high, Earthman Young man's eating all his money down I think he has no room for turning Hear the whistle, won't you tow the line?
