[Verse]
All along the Great Divide
Trains of thought explode in the night
It was dark and the dogs barked
On the way to Mercury Park
I got close to a strange coast
Down in the valley of the shadow of most
I stopped there for a pit stop
And the shadow of most got shot

[Pre-Chorus]
The people said
"Come back soon"
And they gave me a great big balloon
It said

[Chorus]
Space is a place
Space is a place
Space is a place
Space is a place

[Verse 2]
Out here
There's not much fear
The people say the end is near
All night long
They sit around
Drinkin' corn liquor and they sing this song
And if you're near
And if you can hear
Take a little advice
Get the hell out of here
All the folks and the midnight hoax
Will get you high as you can go
[Pre-Chorus]
And they'll give you a great big balloon
It'll say

[Chorus]
Space is a place
Space is a place
Space is a place
Space is a place

[Bridge]
Take a trip to a spacey ship
Your pilot's down at the end of the strip
He's got two heads
And he's in the know
And he'll take you where you wanna go
The ship's called "Memphis
Tennessee"
It was made for you
It was made for me
It's big and round
And it's the best one
It's the only ship with a built-in bar and grill
