The Astronaut

How can I describe to you what it’s like to be gone?

Never knowing left from right or up from down

You wake weightless as a ghost into another dream

In the scheme of it all you’re just a murmur now

Long night star light

Never ending

Pictures of my home

I’m speeding headlong

Like some interstellar stone

I’m almost light

I’m no one now

I’m never again!

I’m all out of time

And I’m out of my mind

Tin ship on a sea of stars

In my mind you\'re never far

I’m just a soft touch phony shaking in his space boots

With a thousand light years to decide

A long gone weirdo loner shaking in his space suit

With a thousand light years left to hide

I’m all out of time

And I’m out of my mind

I was just a child down there, of some ungrateful God

Now I spin the marble earth on my fingertip

I always longed to be the magic man the astronaut

No one knows what it’s like to be as high as this

Long night star light

Never ending

Pictures of my home

I’m speeding headlong

Like some interstellar stone

I’m almost light

I’m no one now

I’m never again!

I’m all out of time

And I’m out of my mind

Tin ship on a sea of stars

In my mind you\'re never far

I’m just a soft touch phony shaking in his space boots

With a thousand light years to decide

A long gone weirdo loner shaking in his space suit

With a thousand light years left to hide

I’m all out of time

And I’m out of my mind
