Space Opera - Sheldon Allman

The distance to the farthest star is known to be immense

And yet I make a wish and yes my wish is so intense

The light years go by like the pickets on a picket fence

In the space opera

The aliens attack us and they push the ship off course

I grab a coil of wire and the front shoe of a horse

Two bottle caps, a magnet and we’ve got a wall of force

In the space opera

The galaxy menaced by monsters

Who drive through us invincibly

And only one man has the answer

The man who can save us is me

Because of radiation at my birth I was a sport

A speeded up mutation of the finer cleaner sort

I wasn’t really born they poured me out of a retort

In the space opera

In the space opera

In the space opera

In the space opera
