Desdemona's Building a Rocket Ship

Desdemona's building a rocket ship 
Desdemona's going away 
Desdemona's building a rocket ship 
Blasting off today 
She's got a passion for cookies 
A crew full of rookies 
It's going to be a hell of a blow 
Desdemona's building a rocket ship 
And I've got to go 

A women on a mission 
Quite familiar with quasars 
Her heart is in a kitchen 
But her soul is in the stars 
Crystal clear on logic 
But short on expertise 
This is a very ancient puzzle 
She feels herself a piece 

Desdemona's building a rocket ship 
Desdemona's going away 
Desdemona's building a rocket ship 
Blasting off today 
She got a passion for cookies 
A crew full of rookies 
It's going to be a hell of a blow 
Desdemona's building a rocket ship 
Guess I've got to go 

She was down in Puerto Rico 
Doing a scientist 
True, he was no geek though 
She was taken with his kiss 
It was under the giant telescope 
Where she heard the calling voice 
It came screaming though the light years 
She never had a choice 

Chorus:
Pleiades calling her home 
Seven sisters, she hears her distant sisters 
Pleiades calling me home 
Seven sisters, she hears her seven sisters 
(Repeat 2 x's)

A woman on a mission 
Quite familiar with quasars 
Her hearts still in the kitchen 
But her soul is in the stars 
Her engine fuel with logic 
And navigation expertise 
It's a very distant puzzle 
She gonna get her piece 

Desdemona's building a rocket ship 
Desdemona's going away 
Desdemona's building a rocket ship 
Blasting off today 
She got a passion for cookies 
A crew full of rookies 
It's going to be a hell of a blow 
Desdemona's building a rocket ship 
I've just got to go 

Yeah, oh yeah 
Seven sisters, she hears her distant sisters 
Yeah, ow!

Chorus (2 x's)
