Safe for the night
Safe to crash or land
And sink into the dark
Of Neverland
Come the day you fly
On a shoulder built for cars
Feel their wind
As your mind travels
Jupiter and Mars
The Star Patrolman sends the signal
And no one hears a sound
Savior of the human race
Protector of the town
You’ve got no backup now
On 29
A metal plate that bears your name
Rattles on the wishbone frame
Blazing fast with eighteen speeds
And custom paint
Catcher’s pads for knees and arms
And a helmet for your head
Protection from the black and white
That flashes blue and red
The Star Patrolman sends the signal
And no one hears a sound
Savior of the human race
Protector of the town
You’ve got no backup now
On 29
And you wait for the girls in white
To take you back inside
With a pencil light he blinds your eyes
And tells your mother everything’s all right
I’m the Star Patrolman
I’m the Star Patrolman
I’m the Star Patrolman
We’re both 29
And I could easily be you
Not commuting to a place
Where dreams don’t come true
29
29
The office dreams
The daily chase
The six-foot cubes
The endless space
29
My wandering mind
My dull commute
One small step and I’m warping time
With you
