Roger Harvey One Night As An Astronaut
[Verse 1]
One night as an astronaut
Can redefine your life
As the lines get blurred
And your speech gets slurred
And tangles up like wires
And you have made up your mind
Watch all that's beautiful die
[Verse 2]
One night by Chapala Lake
Can call to mind her attic space
As she talks to you in the slanted truth
Her green eyes burning bright
We hang like ghosts tonight
Watch all that's beautiful die
[Verse 3]
We're always waiting
For something to arrive
And often we've gone missing
Like misconnecting flights
And the airport at night is empty
So we're looking towards the sky
To let all that's beautiful die
[Verse 4]
One night as an astronaut
Can redefine your life
As the drinks get poured and the room distorts
To colors soft and bright
You have made up your mind
Watched all that beautiful die
[Verse 5]
I've tried my best to act my age
But I couldn't stomach it
Tried so hard to dance through days
But I lack the confidence
And the interstate is endless
So we're stopping for the night
To let all that is beautiful die
