Astronaut Lyrics - David Mead

So I'm hitting the town tonight, cinder blocks for feet 

Shuffle through all the gazes I know better than to meet 

Finally to find a home I finally have to leave 

Another permanent place I'd always thought I'd make it to 

I'm not the first of the astronauts to reach first avenue 

Some suburban flier trying to break some city rules 

'Cause I'm leaving the ground tonight, I'm over your ceiling 

Cause down in your twinkling lights, life is but a dream 

And though you may pretend this is how it ends gone again, gone again 

So baby open your canyons up and sweep me right along 

Wont you give me your cold embrace, I'll give you one more song 

Then youll tell me a lie and say youll miss me when I'm gone 

'Cause I'm leaving the ground tonight, I'm over youre ceiling 

Cause down in your twinkling lights, life is but a dream 

And though you may pretend, this is how it ends, gone again, gone again 

Couldnt tell you for sure the view is better from above 

I'm not the first of the astronauts to leave the place I love
