Astronaut Lyrics

so i'm hittin the town tonight

cinder blocks for feet

shufflin' through all the gazes i know better than to meet

finally i found a home

i finally have to leave

another permanent place i'd always hoped i'd make it to

i'm not the first of the astronauts to reach first avenue

a suburban flower tryin' to break some city rules

[chorus]

cause i'm leavin the ground tonight

i'm over your ceilin'

?????????????

life is but a dream

and though you may pretend

this is how it ends

gone again

gone again

so baby open your canyons up

and sweep me right along

won't you give me your cold embrace

i'll give you one more song

then you tell me a lie

and say you'll miss me when i'm gone

[chorus]

couldn't tell you for sure the view is better from above

i'm not the first of the astronauts to leave the place i love
