Blast Off Baby Lyrics

Look out sugar, look out love,
the sky is falling from the heavens above.
Your socks are swinging from the clothesline,
got no time for that now
and your eyes so big and black...

That's a little lamb, that's a big black bug,
got your 50 cent fortune tucked under your rug.
You got your zoot suit body bag ready to blast off.
I'm in a milk crate by your bed,
with my head untucked to see your pretty feets.

Blast off baby. Baby blast off.

Come on honey, come on doll,
I wanna see you on fire, come on fly fire-ball.
What you're leaving behind,
well it ain't nothing at all.

Blast off baby. Baby blast off.
Blast off baby. Baby blast off.

(my little space boy...)

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I think this song is either about commiting suicide or doing drugs. My bet is on suicide. "Blast off" = shoot yourself. Plus there is mention to a body bag. Actually, after rereading the lyrics, I think this song is about the different ways of commiting suicide. In the first stanza, she says "your socks are swining from the clothes line" which could mean the person hanged themselves. She also says "your eyes so big and black" which could be a result of suffication. Then in the third stanza she sings about lighting yourself on fire "I wanna see you on fire, come on fly fire-ball. " Then blast off could mean shoot yourself.
