Lifetime Achievement Award

throw the switches that line the capsule walls

kill the cabin lights so our eyes get acclimated to the dark

this air is pure oxygen

i can feel it inside my lungs

i can feel it filling up my head

and i'm forgetting how to read

and i'm forgetting how to write my own name

and i'm forgetting the sound of my own voice

when all i had to do was be famous

i was on the news getting out of a limo

going somewhere important

people watch me, they love me

and i never grow old and i never die

the engines go from a scream to a whisper

rupturing the fuselage as they go out

boiling me down to just the bones

force the airlock doors and gain access to the cockpit

twist the wires and make a pair

put your hands together and pray for reentry

if i don't make it put my ashes on display

when all i had to do was be famous

i was on the news getting out of a limo

going somewhere important

people watch me, they love me

and i never grow old and i never die

this air is pure oxygen

i can feel it inside my lungs

i can feel it filling up my head

and i'm forgetting how to read

throw the switches that line the capsule walls

kill the cabin lights so our eyes get acclimated to the dark
