One more astronaut in black skin
|
Of universe
|
One more travellin' man
|
With heavy tired eyes, feeling cold
|
Thinking around the clock of drinking
|
On the job, of the powdered food
|
And piss bags, never having sex and growing old
|
|
Headspace...alive and painless,
|
Weightless and almost sane
|
I close my eyes, I become the sky
|
Headspace...alone and shameless
|
Can't wait to find the faces
|
I left behind in a troubled time
|
Back home
|
|
It gets so lonely you know
|
Weeks and months alone chasing
|
Sleep and space junk and the dying
|
Stars I've known and loved
|
Through true decline
|
Of the five billion minds or so
|
Through mudslides
|
And earthquakes, the blue one holds
|
And rolls along
|
|
One more astronaut in
|
Endless old universe with
|
One more second chance at
|
Wondering why he's here at all
|
Bold are the ones who
|
Come over the line to fall over
|
The horizon...never ones to fade away
|
Then it hit me, this
|
Cosmic pull and energy
|
It kinda makes me wonder
|
If I'll ever make it Back home
|
