[Chorus]
Desdemona's building a rocket ship, Desdemona's going away
Desdemona's building a rocket ship, blasting off today
She's got a passion for cookies, a crew full of rookies
It's going to be a hell of a blow
Desdemona's building a rocket ship and I've got to go

[Verse 1]
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 at peace

[Chorus]
Desdemona's building a rocket ship, Desdemona's going away
Desdemona's building a rocket ship, blasting off today
She's got a passion for cookies, a crew full of rookies
It's going to be a hell of a blow
Desdemona's building a rocket ship and I've got to go

[Verse 2]
She was down in Puerto Rico, doing a scientist
True, he was no geek, though she was taken with his kiss
It was under the giant telescope she heard the calling voice
It came screaming through the light years, she never had a choice
[Bridge]
Pleiades calling her home
Seven sisters, she hears her distant sisters
Pleiades calling me home
Seven sisters, she hears her seven sisters

[Bridge]
Pleiades calling her home
Seven sisters, she hears her distant sisters
Pleiades calling me home
Seven sisters, she hears her seven sisters

[Verse 3]
A woman on a mission, quite familiar with quasars
Her heart is in the kitchen, but her soul is in the stars
Her engine's fueled with logic and navigation expertise
It's a very distant puzzle, she's gonna get her piece

[Chorus]
Desdemona's building a rocket ship, Desdemona's going away
Desdemona's building a rocket ship, blasting off today
She's got a passion for cookies, a crew full of rookies
It's going to be a hell of a blow
Desdemona's building a rocket ship and I've just got to go

[Refrain]
Seven sisters, she hears her distant sisters, yeah, yeah
Seven sisters, she hears her distant sisters, yeah
[Bridge]
Pleiades calling her home
Seven sisters, she hears her distant sisters
Pleiades calling me home
Seven sisters, she hears her seven sisters

[Bridge]
Pleiades calling her home
Seven sisters, she hears her distant sisters
Pleiades calling me home
Seven sisters, she hears her seven sisters
