I must've died and gone to heaven 'Cause it was a quarter past eleven On a Saturday in 1999 Right across from where I'm standing On the dance floor she was landing It was clear that she was from another time Like some baby Barbarella With the stars as her umbrella She asked me if I'd like to magnetize Do I have to go star-trekking 'Cause it's you I should be checking So she laser beamed me with her cosmic eyes She's just a cosmic girl From another galaxy My heart's at zero gravity She's from a cosmic world Putting me in ecstasy Transmitting on my frequency She's cosmic I'm scanning all my radars We'll she said she's from a quasar Forty thousand million light years away It's a distant solar system I tried to phone but they don't list 'em So I asked her for a number all the same She said, step in my transporter So I can teleport ya All around my heavenly body This could be a close encounter I should take care not to flounder Sends me into hyperspace, when I see her pretty face She's just a cosmic girl From another galaxy My heart's at zero gravity She's from a cosmic world Putting me in ecstasy Transmitting on my frequency She's cosmic Sends me into hyperspace when I see her pretty face Sends me into hyperspace when I see her pretty face Sends me into hyperspace when I see her pretty face Sends me into hyperspace when I see her pretty face She's just a cosmic girl From another galaxy Transmitting on my frequency yeah cosmic, oh Can't you be my cosmic woman? I need you, I want you to be my cosmic girl For the rest of time
