Lyrics The National

The National

Looking for Astronauts

We're out looking for astronauts

Looking for astronauts

We're out looking for astronauts

Looking for astronauts

It's a little too late, too late, too late for this

Isn't it a little too late for this?

Little too late, too late for this

Isn't it a little too late for this?

You know you have a permanent piece

Of my medium-sized American heart

We're out looking for astronauts

Looking for astronauts

We're out looking for astronauts

Looking for astronauts

Are we gone?

Come on, yeah, we know we're gone

Bye bye bye

Bye bye bye, we know we're gone

Take all your reasons and take them away to the middle of nowhere, and on your way home

Throw from your window your record collection

They all run together and never make sense, but that's how we like it, and that's all we want

Something to cry for and something to hunt

Are we gone?

Come on, yeah, we know we're gone

Bye bye bye

Bye bye bye, we know we're gone

We're out looking for astronauts

Looking for astronauts

We're out looking for astronauts

Looking for astronauts

It's a little too late, too late, too late for this

Isn't it a little too late for this?

Little too late, too late for this

Isn't it a little too late for this?

You know you have a permanent piece

Of my medium-sized American heart

So don't wear the watch when you're out with the cunts

You can break what you have, but the rest of it's mine

Take all your reasons and take them away to the middle of nowhere, and on your way home

Throw from your window your record collection

They all run together and never make sense, but that's how we like it, and that's all we want

Something to cry for, and something to hunt
