Astronaut 05:57
Waiting for the Astronaut to come home Afraid, no, of course we're not – we all know That there's too many wars Too many fights Too many wrongs, and not enough rights Too many fools, and not enough gold in the end And still we pretend Well, if I had a rocket – I would take you away from this place But all that Astronauts give you is space... A strange broken Astronaut has come home Praised, no, of course he's not – we don't know Of the wars in his head The nights in his bed The times that he swore that he'd rather be dead We have suffered the fools but still lost the gold in the end And so we pretend 'Cause if I had a rocket – I would take you away from this place But all that Astronauts give you is space..
