L’Astronaut

Lyrics

Drifting on refuse Parade through the town square Waving to the families of the victim of the flood Straddling the front door of a Catholic orphanage I decorated it myself Thank you, you're too much Honestly, it was nothing We should all just thank God I'm alive We should all just thank God I'm alive Don't shout, I get a little confused sometimes I can't make out a word you're saying I've got a 21 gun salute playing over and over and over in my head Can't it wait? I'm on call to be somewhere Somewhere I'm not In case the cleaning lady has found my head Forgive my delay, lieutenant I'm the man the whole country requires Take your gun out of my mouth You are ruining my appetite Get your bear trap off of my neck I'm already running I'm running late Your distress is confounding The tightrope walkers Just so we're clear You're saying we're all lost? Maybe I'm wrong but weren't we just dancing? Oh, the way that we moved Had every marauder curious Sniffing at the trash in our shoes Sharpening knives on the grindstone watch gears I don't miss that much About anything you said After all, we've never met I'll get it right I'll get it right I'll get it right Stick my tongue down the throat of the moon
