Lupin is a Philippine drama series that aired on GMA Network. It is loosely based on the French crime fiction series of books featuring the character Arsène Lupin and the Japanese manga and anime series Lupin III, in turn loosely based upon the original works. "Lupin" aired its last episode on August 17, 2007.
Created by Maurice Leblanc, Arsène Lupin first appeared in a series of short stories serialized in 1905 and published in book form as Arsène Lupin, gentleman-cambrioleur in 1907 (translated into English as The Extraordinary Adventures of Arsene Lupin, Gentleman-Burglar).
Born in the late 19th century, Lupin is a gentleman thief, a master of disguise, and an amateur detective. While operating on the wrong side of the law, he is still a force for good. Those whom Lupin defeats are worse villains than he. Other characters in the stories include Lupin's faithful accomplice Grognard and his lawman adversary Inspector Justin Ganimard. In some stories Lupin faces Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes (called "Herlock Sholmès" for copyright reasons).
Space is the boundless three-dimensional extent in which objects and events have relative position and direction. Physical space is often conceived in three linear dimensions, although modern physicists usually consider it, with time, to be part of a boundless four-dimensional continuum known as spacetime. The concept of space is considered to be of fundamental importance to an understanding of the physical universe. However, disagreement continues between philosophers over whether it is itself an entity, a relationship between entities, or part of a conceptual framework.
I won't tell you my name
I avoid all those things
All together, I'm so high
Well, I know it was dumb
Staring right at the sun
Stoned forever
Well, it won't be the first or the last time
The world passes by
Hey, I'm a space boy, I don't wanna be found
I'm a space boy, so stop holding me down
And I'd love if I never returned to the ground
Well, can we still be friends
Well, I guess that depends
How's the weather from so high
Well, I know it's a shame
Why you cause all this strain
All together
Well, it won't be the first or the last time
I wanted to try
Hey, I'm a space boy, I don't wanna be found
I'm a space boy, so stop holding me down
And I'd love if I never returned to the ground
I'm a space boy, I don't wanna look down
I'm a space boy, I've been floating around
And I'd love, if I never returned to the ground
I can see all the world going by
I'm a space boy, I don't wanna be found
I'm a kill joy, so stop dragging me down
