One more astronaut in black skin
of universe
One more travellin' man
With heavy tired eyes, feelin cold
Thinking around the clock of drinking
On the job, of the powdered food
And piss bavgs, never having sex and growing old
Headspace...Alive and painless
Weightless, and almost sane
I close my eyes, I become the sky
Headspace..Alone and shameless
Can't wait to find the faces
I left behind in a troubled time
Back home
It gets so lonely you know
Weeks and months alone chasing
Sleep and space junk and the dying
Stars I've known and loved
Through true decline
Of the five billion minds or so
Through mudslides
And earthquakes, the blue one holds
And rolls along
One more astronaut in
Endless old universe with
One more second chance at
Wondering why he's here at all
Bold are the ones who
Come over the line to fall over
The horizon..Never ones to fade away
Then it hit me, this
Cosmic pull and energy
It kinda makes me wonder
If I'll ever make it
Back home
can't see the forest for all
The green, it all gets in my way
Can't dig a desert without
THe need for old religion, for holy grails
And a Jesus nail through the head
For all the pain and misguided faith
My mind erased before I had time
To waste my afternoon
Every thirty days a light goes on
ANd brightens my backyard a yellow
Dying sun
I bite my tongue and swallow pride and blood
On some other plane I have
Become ffected drawn and strange
I'm inclined to blame
My mother for dressing me like a girl
I don't know maybe that's kind of weird
A teenage breakdown without the will
Or without thinking
Taking low roads and coloured pills
Always searching
Maybe then I would find
A place in this mess
It swells a vein that the only things
That are keeping me awake
Are re-runs of the mod squad and cartoons
