To sing himself a song is to wish that he were gone from the place he once belonged
But now he floats away to the gaze of the sun
He’s on his own with a rope tied to his home
I could see you standing there planets away
I could feel you in space but it won’t be the same
I could see the light that’s keeping me safe
But I’m the spaceman who’s lost his face
Feel the black drip from ear to brain
I can hear myself thinking that I can wipe it away
As I grab at the syrup that plagues my mind
I find that it’s just me this time
It’s the thoughts he feels that keep him outside the atmosphere
Floating in the numinous space
Look at the moon
Look at the stars above
“Come find me love”
I could see you standing there planets away
I could feel you in space but it won’t be the same
I could see the light that’s keeping me safe
But I’m the spaceman who’s lost his face
Sinking in and out
I want to reach out and touch you
Sinking hold your tongue
I want to reach out and touch you
Out of orbit
Out of orbit
(Out of orbit)
(Out of orbit)
I could see you standing there planets away
I could feel you in space but it won’t be the same
I could see the light that’s keeping me safe
But I’m the spaceman and I’m home safe
