[Verse 1]
I always said
When I'm gone, when I’m dead
Don't lay me down
With the dirt on my head
[Pre-Chorus]
You won't need a shovel, you don’t need a cold headstone
You don't need to cry, I'm gon' be going home
[Chorus]
I'm waiting for my spaceship to come back to me
It's coming back to me
I don't really care if you believe
It's coming back for me, yeah
I’m living in a lonesome galaxy
But in my dreams, I see ’em come and rescue me
Look up in the sky and there they'll be
Bet you’ll think of me then
[Post-Chorus]
Gonna say, "Ooh
Look at that, oh yeah, yeah"
Damn, if it ain't true
They're coming back for me
They're coming back for me, yeah
[Verse 2]
I knew from the start
I don’t belong in these parts
There's too much hate
There's too much hurt for this heart
[Pre-Chorus]
Lord knows this planet feels like a hopeless place (Oh, hopeless place)
Thank God I'm going back home to outer space (Oh, outer space)
[Chorus]
I'm waiting for my spaceship to come back to me
It's coming back to me
I don't really care if you believe
It's coming back for me, yeah
I'm living in a lonesome galaxy
But in my dreams, I see 'em come and rescue me
Look up in the sky and there they'll be
Bet you'll think of me then
[Post-Chorus]
Gonna say, "Ooh
Look at that, oh yeah, yeah"
Damn, if it ain't true
They're coming back for me
They're coming back for me, yeah
[Bridge]
(Ooh, ooh)
(Ooh, ooh)
(Ooh, ooh)
(Ooh, ooh)
(Ah)
[Chorus]
I'm waiting for my spaceship to come back for me
And I don't really care if you believe me
Oh, I've been living in a lonesome galaxy
But in my dreams, I see 'em come and rescue me
Look up in the sky and there they'll be
I bet you'll think of me then
[Post-Chorus]
Gonna say, "Ooh
Look at that, oh yeah, yeah"
Damn, if it ain't true
They're coming back for me
They're coming back for me, yeah
[Outro]
As I leave this Earth and sail into the infinite cosmic universe
The wars, the triumphs, the beauty, and the bloodshed
The ocean of human endeavor, it all grows quiet, insignificant
I'm nothing more than recycled stardust and borrowed energy
Born from a rock spinning in the ether
I watch my life backwards and forwards and I feel free
Nothing is real, love is everything, and I know nothing
