lyrics

Hip hop hibby to the hibbity hip hop
I was out moonwalking in flip flops
(bang bang boogie said up jumps the boogie said up jumps the boogie)
beyond the moon's gravity
I buzzed Uranus, not your body cavity
I was 12 years old I thought Pluto would be cold
but it's quite warm the people got their own charm
They like the wave and the windmill the winds are quite frenetic
(Breakdance! Do the backspin)
I thought we'd be a big hit that proved to be prophetic
Broke our best moves out and we got a little rowdy
Spun all around and electrified the crowd
With so much electricity it left em debatin our historicity
resulting in much free publicity
(Historicity? Is that a word?)
15 famous minutes proved not to be the case
cuz I'm still all the rage me and the breakers in space

breakers in space - the breakers in space they set their own pace
the breakers in space - breakers in space a superhuman race of
breakers in space - breakers in space cut right to the chase
the breakers in space - the breakers in space - breakers in space

Things was heatin up by the time we hit Venus
lot o girls there, they wanted to see my... um (Ooooo.)
fancy dance and romance, fun in the sun, no doubt
I saw this woman what would turn your brain inside out
I didn't care if she could dance I was lookin at her pants
Wanted to tell her she was gorgeous if I ever got the chance
But... she looked at that with contempt and disdain
Like "I don't care about my beauty. Brought me nothin but pain"
As we wandered the stars she showed me inner scars
and I'd been in love for light years by the time that we got back to Mars

breakers in space...
(No. no. no no.)
(The chorus don't go there. We doin the mars part. The Mars part!)
(uh-uh)

Breakers in Space (continued)

I met a girl there had black hair everywhere
in her underwear and men who stared cared
I liked how people tried to put her down and she would ignore em
(Talkin bout my generation)
and she was the only one what made it out of Purim with decorum
I went for a high five she went for a kiss
she knew all the freshest shit about follow your bliss
and I was like "Hey, if you wanna be my girlfriend okay that's cool
but if my girlfriend calls you can't be rude that's the only rule
Oh and do unto others as you'd have done unto you
(What means polyamory?)
And communicate what you'd do unto others. I guess that's a rule too
If that's cool we could hang out at my place
but nevermind the noise from the breakers in space"

breakers in space - the breakers in space they set their own pace
the breakers in space - breakers in space a superhuman race of
breakers in space - breakers in space cut right to the chase
the breakers in space - the breakers in space - breakers in space

Slung shot around the sun and did the timewarp again
(Let's do the timewarp again)
tried to rock for Dr. Spock but he ain't wanna be out friend
his eyes was like MADNESS one step beyond
(beam me up Scotty) (Our house in the middle of our street)
mumbling somethin bout the 80s wrath of Khan and Mr. Mantalbahn
who had some rap records and a disco ball
and we didn't care what it was called we broke to it all
top rockin, poppin and lockin
New Degobah, North Klackabakka and Compton
(comin straight outta Klackabakka is a brotha that'll cuddle
your mutha... uhh, could you email me a picture of your moms?)
so pop and lock while we rock for justice
you don't think you see the stardust but just trust us
it's here it's there it's in front of your face
it's love and it's lace and it's breakers in space

breakers in space - the breakers in space they set their own pace
the breakers in space - breakers in space a superhuman race of
breakers in space - breakers in space cut right to the chase
the breakers in space - the breakers in space - breakers in space

9 planets when we started but now there's only 8
(They gonna pay for what they did to Pluto.)
One got ate at a egghead debate (Not Pluto!)
learn new tricks you old dog it's never too late
and blend in some new styles you create
build me a beat I'll bust the babble like a bubble
and once we hit the tribbles with the trebble man you know they in trouble
(Cuz it's 1-8-7 on ya undercover crops)
no ray gun (Well) we have fun on the real
leave your asteroid field and remember the feel
from when breakin wasn't just showin off your body
it was ladi dadi (ladi dadi) and we like to party
(we didn't cause trouble, didn't bother nobody)
wasn't no fans cause the circle expands
till everybody could see more than just feets and hands
everybody could get in with no maybes
old white ladies and itty bity babies
would just catch a groove and bust your move lay it to waste
just like the breakers in space

breakers in space - the breakers in space they set their own pace
the breakers in space - breakers in space a superhuman race of
breakers in space - breakers in space cut right to the chase
the breakers in space - the breakers in space - breakers in space
