Sugars got a space ship running on empty rifts
moving lovers undercover just like I said
in a phantom world spinning out of time
we just a sci-fi kids making dirty rimes
I never really saw myself as a the running kind
were just a digital brat with a insect mind

were just a sci-fi kid like you
were just a sci-fi kid like you
were just a science-fiction kid like you
were just a science-fiction kid like you

Sugar's got a space ship tripping over dusty stars
Keen cars, living large, playing big guitars
Hackin' in, making holes, and it's not so hard
It’s just a extra part in a kid like me
Me
A Sci-fi kid like me

were just a sci-fi kid like you
were just a sci-fi kid like you
were just a science-fiction kid like you
Were just a science-fiction kid like you

Were just a science-fiction kid like you
Were just a science-fiction kid like you
Were just a science-fiction kid like you
Were just a science-fiction kid like you
Were just a science-fiction kid like you

    I'm pretty sure the lyrics are: "Sugar's got a space ship running on empty rifts Moving lovers, undercover, just like I said In a phantom world spinning out of time We're just the sci-fi kids making dirty rhymes I never really saw myself as a the running kind I'm just a digital brat with an insect mind

    I'm just a sci-fi kid like you, yeah I'm just a sci-fi kid like you, yeah yeah I'm just a sci-fi kid like you, baby yeah I'm just a science-fiction kid like you, yeah yeah

    Sugar's got a space ship tripping over dusty stars Keen cars, living large, playing big guitars Hackin' in, making holes, and it's not so hard It’s just a extra pot in a kid like me Me Sci-fi kid like me

    I'm just a sci-fi kid like you, yeah yeah I'm just a sci-fi kid like you, yeah yeah I'm just a science-fiction kid like you, yeah yeah I'm just a science-fiction kid like you, yeah yeah

    I'm just a science-fiction kid like you, baby yeah, uh uh I'm just a science-fiction kid like you, baby yeah, uh uh I'm just a science-fiction kid like you, baby yeah, uh uh I'm just a science-fiction kid like you, baby yeah, uh uh

    uh uh, oh oh

    I'm just a science-fiction kid like you"

    Note that I said PRETTY sure, because I can't quite understand what he's saying past "Hackin' in, making holes, ..." So it could be hot, it could be hard, I have no idea.

    Anyway, the song makes me think of "Ender's Game" as I think seemssogreen mentioned, but also sounds like a song about living in the digital age.

    Either way, it's fantastic.

    Agree with optifree's lyrics, except I think it is:

    Just an extra part in a kid like me

    Like he is a robot or some sci-fi creation. God, I love this song. So upbeat and a little bit twisted at the same time.

    "Sugar's got a space ship tripping over dusty stars" I love that line! I can't really think how to explain what I think about this song..just the word it brings to my head. Curiosity. It's great : ]

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
