Song Description
An old band favourite was the Dutch group Focus, which this recalls a little (with Hammond but without yodelling), whilst the lyrics espouse a mechanistic view of the universe.

Lyrics
FOR THOSE WHO CLIMB THE GREASY POLE,
THEIR LIVES ON PERMANENT PAROLE
THEY HOLD ON TIGHT FOR EMPTY GOALS
THEN SLIDE STILL FURTHER FROM THEIR SOUL
SPACE DUST IS WHAT WE ARE, ALL OF US AND EVERY STAR
FLOATING LIKE GOSSAMER, WE'RE ALL BORN FROM NEBULA!
DON'T PRAISE YOURSELF FOR ALL YOU GAIN
AS THIS WILL LEAD YOU TO DEFAME
ALL OTHERS IN A FLAWED BLAME GAME
REGARD US ALL AS JUST THE SAME
SPACE DUST IS WHAT WE ARE, ALL OF US AND EVERY STAR
FLOATING LIKE GOSSAMER, WE'RE ALL BORN FROM NEBULA!
ONE FORCE, ONE ENERGY, NOT A SINGLE ABSENTEE
WE'RE ALL COSMIC DEBRIS, JUST THIS TRUTH WILL SET YOU FREE...(x3)
SPACE DUST IS WHAT WE ARE, ALL OF US AND EVERY STAR
PUTS US ALL ON EQUAL PAR, GIVE IT UP AND LEARN SITAR!
TO FEVERED EGOS NEAR AND FAR, SPACE DUST'S REALLY ALL WE ARE!
