text: Can you tell me how old Dan mightve done it
  If hed been here now, holy cow
  My stars mightve been read on the planet Mars
  Cause I dont have foresight to see
  If well still be together in the twenty-first
  In the twenty-first century, oh no
  Hes 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 dont 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 couldnt make his flight
  So long, so long, yeah
  Dan Dare doesnt know it
  He doesnt know it, he doesnt 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 couldnt make his flight
  So long, so long
  Dan Dare doesnt know it
  He doesnt know it, he doesnt know it
  But I like the Mekon
  Dan Dare doesnt know it
  He doesnt know it, he doesnt know it
  But I like the Mekon
  Dan Dare doesnt know it
  Doesnt know it, doesnt know it
  But I like the Mekon
  Dan Dare doesnt know it, know it
  Doesnt know it, know it, doesnt know it, know it, doesnt know it
  But I like the Mekon
