Music by Elton JohnLyrics by Bernie TaupinAvailable on the album Rock Of The WestiesCan you tell me how old Dan might have done itIf he'd been here now, holy cowMy stars might have been read on the planet MarsBecause I don't have foresight to seeIf we still be together in the twenty firstIn the twenty first centuryHe's our flying ace, pilot of the futureIn an endless space, holy cowMy eyes never saw a rocket that was quite that sizeBecause I don't have the energyTo be cat and mouse for the championsFor the champions of destinySo long captain DanI fail to see what motivates your handsGoodbye restless nightYou know I loved Dan Dare, but I couldn't make his flightSo long, so longDan Dare doesn't know itHe doesn't know itHe doesn't know itBut I liked the Mekon
