Vic Starlight - Snake in Space

A tale of a snake that got to travel beyond the skies.

Lyrics,
Oh slippery, slithery snake.
A government henchman has got a hold of you.
Takes you to a strange place.
They fit you in a space suit.
Give you no formal training.
Somehow I dont think this is a good idea.

You are going to be the first snake in space.
You going to float around in a sea of stars.
I dont know if the government should spend money on stuff like this?
Sounds like a bad idea to me!

Launch day is here.
The rocky blast off.
It tears the firmament.
Leaving the earth behind.
The snake gets out of his suit.
Floats to the control panel.
Gets electrocuted and burst into flames.

Oh first snake in space.
You were supposed to traverse the stars.
But now you are a crispy critter.
And you crashed the rocket into the moon.
The moon men are pissed at us again.

No one listened to me when i said this was a dumb ass idea.
But you guys said "A snake in space could be great."
Now we have lost millions in tax payer dollars.
For the first snake in space.

(You had to carve your story among the stars in the sky.)
