Yesterday, I tried to complicate my life I said I thought that you'd make a pretty wife And dreams of an intergalactic guy Pointed my thoughts to the sky And now, Carl Sagan's on my mind Oh God, I hope, I really think, I hope he's right I don't have the time to babysit your lonely spine I'll just drink my beer and watch spaceships in the sky You don't wanna know About me and Carl and the cosmos show About me and Carl and the cosmos show About me and Carl and the cosmos show And if I start to miss your turned up nose I'll call you up, and I'll speculate on UFO's Because today, close encounters of another kind On PBS made me so happy I could cry I don't have the time to babysit your lonely spine I'll just drink my beers and watch for spaceships in the sky You don't wanna know About me and Carl and the cosmos show About me and Carl and the cosmos show About me and Carl and the cosmos show
