Desdemona’s Building a Rocket Ship Songtext
von Jimmy Buffett

Desdemona′s building a rocket ship, Desdemona's goin′ away
Desdemona's building a rocket ship, blastin' off today
She′s got a passion for cookies, a crew full of rookies
It′s gonna be a hell of a blow
Desdemona's building a rocket ship, and I′ve got to go

A woman on a mission, quite familiar with quasars
Her heart is in the 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 goin' away
Desdemona′s building a rocket ship, blastin' off today
She's got a passion for cookies, a crew full of rookies
It′s gonna be a hell of a blow
Desdemona′s building a rocket ship
Guess I've got to go

She was down in Puerto Rico, doin′ 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 through the light years, she never had a choice


Pleiades calling her home
Seven Sisters, she hears her distant sister
Pleiades calling me home
Seven Sisters, she hears her Seven Sisters

Pleiades calling her home
Seven Sisters, she hears her distant sister
Pleiades calling me home
Seven Sisters, she hears her Seven Sisters

A woman on a mission, quite familiar with quasars
Her heart's still in the kitchen, but her soul is in the stars
Her engine′s fuelled with logic and navigation expertise
It's a very distant puzzle, she′s gonna get her piece

Desdemona's building a rocket ship, Desdemona's goin′ away
Desdemona′s building a rocket ship, blastin' off today
She′s got a passion for cookies, a crew full of rookies
It's gonna be a hell of a blow
Desdemona′s building a rocket ship, I've just got to go


Seven Sisters, she hears her distant sisters, yeah, oh, yeah
Seven Sisters, she hears her Seven Sisters, yeah, ooh
Pleiades calling her home
Seven Sisters, she hears her distant sister
Pleiades calling me home
Seven Sisters, she hears her Seven Sisters
Pleiades calling her home
Seven Sisters, she hears her distant sister
Pleiades calling me home
Seven Sisters, she hears her Seven Sisters

Calling her home
Seven sisters
Calling, calling her home
Hear the seven, hear the seven sisters
Ooh, yeah, yeah
