  • Well, we had a lot of luck on Venus
    We always had a ball on Mars
    We're meeting all the groovy people
    We've rocked the Milky Way so far
    We danced around with Borealis
    We're space trucking 'round the the stars

    Come on, come on, come on
    Let's go space truckin'
    Come on, come on, come on
    Space truckin'

    Remember when we did the moonshot?
    And pony trekker led the way
    We'd move to the Canaveral moonstop
    And every 'naut would dance and sway

    We got music in our solar system
    We're space truckin' 'round the stars

    Come on, come on, come on
    Let's go space truckin'
    Come on, come on, come on
    Space truckin'

    The fireball that we rode was moving
    But now we've got a new machine
    Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah the freaks said
    Man those cats can really swing

    They've got music in their solar system
    They've rocked around the Milky Way
    They dance around the Borealis
    They're space truckin' everyday

    Come on, come on, come on
    Let's go space truckin'
    Come on, come on, come on
    Space truckin'

    Come on, come on, come on
    Let's go space truckin'
    Come on, come on, come on
    Space truckin'

    Yeah, yeah, yeah, space truckin'
    Yeah, yeah, yeah, space truckin'
    Yeah, yeah, yeah, space truckin'
    Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
    Yeah, yeah, yeah, space truckin'
    Yeah, yeah, yeah Writer/s: Ian Gillan, Ian Paice, Jon Lord, Ritchie Blackmore, Roger Glover

  • Alister from Malton, UkTo John from Newcastle. No, the lyric sheet that came with the original LP states "The fireball...".
  • John from Newcastle It’s “The Vinyl that we rode was moving”, not fireball as you have stated.
