Astronaut

Now if you're gonna play your games with me

Like the leaf in the top of a tree

You better watch your step when you're comin' back down

From the city on out to the sea

And if your brothers come after me

With their horses so wild and so free

I'll be waitin' at the gate in a terrible state

With the man who holds the key

And he'll treat you quite carelessly

For he knows my face from a previous place

From a country in a foreign land

Throwin' dice in a game of chance on the sand

But I lost my cool and fate loves a fool

Now I'm standin' on the edge of the pack

In my spacesuit hopin' that this women will call me at last

'Cause I'm an astronaut on the shores of this grand illusion

And I'm fallin down at the sound of this beating heart

Yeah, this beatin' heart

Yeah, this beatin' heart

Your friends all tell ya that ya gotta make a change

Gotta make this fake in so many kinda ways

Snap to the trees from the trees to the earth

From the earth to your grave from the grave to your birth

Your heart's been rappin' with ?

But the world ain't yours 'cause this heart's been sold

Gonna pay your lovers way and the ship it sails today

Whoa my mind now we're rollin' by and by

Got my children to light the way

Whoa my mind now we're rollin' by and by

Got my brothers to light the way

Whoa my mind now we're rollin' by and by

Got my sisters to light the way

Gotta pave your lovers way

And the ship it sails today

So if you're gonna play your games with me

Better use some real chicery

Better get smart 'cause that lock on your heart

It ain't as heavy as it used to be

In the land without no gravity

In this windless place on the edge of space

Where the saints and the sinners have passed

With the dead satellites and the trash

In my spacesuit hopin' that this woman would call me at last

'Cause I'm an astronaut on the shores of this grand illusion

And I'm fallin' down at the sound of this beating heart

Yeah, this beatin' heart

Yeah, this beatin' heart
