  • Take me to your place in space
    I'm simply tired of mad rage
    On rocket ship no time to wait
    I just want to gravitate

    It's out of sight, it's out of sight
    It's out of sight, it's out of sight
    Gone, it's gone

    It's out of sight, it's out of sight
    It's out of sight, it's out of sight
    Gone, it's gone

    I'll take you out to see the place
    Where man and moon have a smilin' face, oh yeah
    You don't have to wear no fancy lace
    Just a funky feel and a lot of taste

    It's out of sight, it's out of sight
    It's out of sight, it's out of sight
    It's gone, it's gone

    It's out of sight, it's out of sight
    It's out of sight, it's out of sight
    Gone, it's gone

    People movin' to and fro
    To a song and a band and a laser show
    Superman, Batman, goin' all night
    Playin' one on one with a meteor light

    It's out of sight, it's out of sight
    It's out of sight, it's out of sight
    It's gone, it's gone

    It's out of sight, it's out of sight
    It's out of sight, it's out of sight
    Gone, it's gone, gone, gone

    Ninth dimension, seventh lane
    I'll get raised in solar cane
    The star patrol said keep it down, keep it down, keep it down
    Keep it down, keep it down, keep it down, keep it down

    As long as the rule when you stay in town
    As long as the rule where you stay around

    Out of sight, it's out of sight
    It's out of sight, it's out of sight
    It's gone in the galaxy
    It's gone at the galaxy

    Out of sight, it's out of sight
    It's out of sight, it's out of sight
    It's gone in the galaxy
    It's gone at the galaxy

    Out of sight, it's out of sight
    It's out of sight, it's out of sight
    It's gone in the galaxy
    It's gone at the galaxy Writer/s: CHARLES MILLER, GERALD GOLDSTEIN, HAROLD BROWN, HOWARD SCOTT, LEE LEVITIN, LONNIE JORDAN, MORRIS DICKERSON, THOMAS ALLEN

  • Barry from Sauquoit, NyOn March 18, 1978, War performed "Galaxy" on the Dick Clark ABC-TV Saturday-afternoon program, 'American Bandstand'...
    One the first day of 1978 the song entered Billboard's Top 100 chart at position #79, six weeks later it would peak at #39 {for 1 week} and it spent nine weeks on the Top 100...
    It reached #5 on Billboard's Hot R&B Singles chart...
    Between 1971 and 1982, when known just as War, they had fourteen Top 100 records; six made the Top 10 with "The Cisco Kid" being their biggest hit, it peaked at #2* {for 2 weeks} on April 22nd, 1973...
    In 1970 the group charted twice as Eric Burton & War with "Spill the Wine" {#3} and "They Can't Take Away Our Music" {#50}...
    * The two weeks that "The Cisco Kid" was at #2, the #1 record for both those weeks was "Tie A Yellow Ribbon Round the Ole Oak Tree" by Dawn featuring Tony Orlando.
  • Scott from Palm Desert, CaInteresting song. Classic War with a spacy kind of vibe to it.
