Benny Songtext
von Douwe Bob

Benny′s in the backyard building a rocket
Shaping his dreams with a wrench and a socket
Mama's calling supper but he ain′t gonna stop 'til it's done
No, no

Oh, tireless small town point of view
Sky is the limit, he′s got nothing to lose
Lighting the fuse and pointing it right to the sun

Look at him go, he′s already gone
Look at him go straight for the sun
A rocket halfway to heaven 'cause that′s where he's headed
Calling on the radio
Look at him go, he′s a wild, wild soul
And he ain't coming home


Oh, maybe it′s a part of a bigger plan
One minute got you flying and you think you're the man
You got it figured 'til you don′t understand it at all

Oh, Benny was gone long before he left
Traveling the galaxy he saw in his head
Now he′s leaving his mark with the light that he sheds over us

Look at him go, he's already gone
Look at him go straight for the sun
A rocket halfway to heaven ′cause that's where he′s headed
Calling on the radio
Look at him go, he's a wild, wild soul
And he ain′t coming home

Benny's in the backyard building a rocket
Shaping his dreams with a wrench and a socket
If only we knew how high he'd fly in the end
