I see your face on the television, almost everyday
In magazines and on the big screen
Close yet far away
I wonder why you choose those others
And you never come to call on me
When I'm the one who's waiting for you
I really need you-please pick me!

Spaceman, oh spaceman!
Come rescue me from this!
Calling all aliens!
Come rescue me!

Remember that night at my window
When I waved at you?
I must have been only five, or so,
But I never forgot you.
I wonder why you choose those others
And you never come to call on me
When I'm the one who's waiting for you
I really need you-please pick me!

Spaceman, oh spaceman!
Come rescue me from this!
Calling all aliens!
Come rescue me!

    Sounds like she used to know someone who is now a movie star and she's trapped by aliens and wants this person to rescue her. Right.

    It seems to me that the "spaceman" is an idol that she has had for a long time, like an astronaut, and even when she is older, she still wants him to save her like she did when she was a small child.

    i dont think its about idols but more about the guy or in my case girl, that someone cant get. Like when you really like someone but they're always with someone else...that sounds like her situation.

    Yeah. I think this song is about wanting someone you can't get.

    I dont think when she says space man she means an idol or an actual space man, i think she just means that there is just something that she feels is in her way, and she needs help.

    Perhaps by spaceman she means someone whos always far away, a spaceman being somone whos far away in space. I dunno. It does sound like an idol/celeb though.

    I thing it's about aliens, actual aliens. She wants taken off of this crappy world, and she wants aliens to take her away. I'm thinking it's that simple.
