All alone in the night.
If you don't get it, you can now watch five seasons' worth of shows to see where it comes from.

I changed the headline because I now suspect the artist was thinking more of the passage of David Bowie last year than a 1990s syndicated sci-fi series.

when I saw the photo of the mural:

I wanted to be a spaceman
That's all I wanted to be
But now that I am a spaceman
Nobody cares about me

I was kinda thinking more like Elton John's "Rocket man"

She packed my bags last night pre-flight
Zero hour nine AM
And I'm gonna be high as a kite by then
I miss the earth so much I miss my wife
It's lonely out in space
On such a timeless flight

Much better than the tacky Tom Brady mural that went up about a year or so ago in EB.

It's important to photograph/document any and all graffiti even the objectionable for artistry or possible future artistic value or as a sign of our times or what in the future could turn out to be a representation of historical interest.
