Dan Dare (Pilot Of The Future) - Elton John

Can you tell me how old Dan might’ve done it

If he’d been here now, holy cow

My stars might’ve been read on the planet Mars

'Cause I don’t have foresight to see

If we’ll still be together in the twenty-first

In the twenty-first century, oh no

He’s our flyin' ace, Pilot of the Future

In an endless space, holy cow

My eyes never saw a rocket that was quite that size

'Cause I don’t have the energy

To be cat and mouse for the champions

For the champions of destiny, oh no

So long, Captain Dan

I fail to see what motivates your hands

Goodbye, restless night

You know I love Dan Dare, but I couldn’t make his flight

So long, so long, yeah

Dan Dare doesn’t know it

He doesn’t know it, he doesn’t know it

But I like the Mekon

Oh, so long, Captain Dan

I fail to see what motivates your hands

Goodbye, restless night

You know I love Dan Dare, but I couldn’t make his flight

So long, so long

Dan Dare doesn’t know it

He doesn’t know it, he doesn’t know it

But I like the Mekon

Dan Dare doesn’t know it

He doesn’t know it, he doesn’t know it

But I like the Mekon

Dan Dare doesn’t know it

Doesn’t know it, doesn’t know it

But I like the Mekon

Dan Dare doesn’t know it, know it

Doesn’t know it, know it, doesn’t know it, know it, doesn’t know it

But I like the Mekon

(Dan Dare doesn’t know it, know it, doesn’t know it, know it)

(Doesn't know it, know it, doesn’t know it)

(Dan Dare doesn’t know it, know it, doesn’t know it, know it)

(Doesn't know it, know it, doesn’t know it)
