Astronaut

I connect the dots, but i'm stopped by some strange paradox

I'm an astronaut, and i've got a reservation at restaurant

And i know just what i want

Excuse me if i seem a little nonchalant

Here's a memory while i collect all my thoughts

Because i found a touch of inspiration in a chocolate box

But you know we go around in circles, ‘til there’s no response

And i would love an opportunity to take my shot

It's the time and place

I'm off in outer space

Just look at your face

Oh, so introspective

Up above the sky

You still won't tell us why

And no one knows a damn thing to expect, no

Nobody knows a thing

Upper echelon, got to get them children off my lawn

Up before the dawn

Another lonely night because you know she's gone

And you know just why it's wrong

In spite of all this nonsense, still you don't belong

On and on

Your days are full of such contagious yawns

Both impressive and obsessive but it's mostly just bizarre

Like a speeding car, go drift to wreckage at your local bar

‘cause that’s the source of all the poison you've been searching for

It's the time and place

I'm off in outer space

Just look at your face

Oh, so introspective

62 miles from ground

It's blue and green and brown

But you couldn't hear a sound

From this new perspective

Up above the sky

You still won't tell us why

Yes, no one knows a damn thing to expect, no

Nobody knows a thing

It's the time and place (it's the time and place)

I'm off in outer space (i'm in outer space)

Just look at your face

Oh, so introspective

62 miles from ground (miles from ground)

It's blue and green and brown (blue and green and brown)

But you couldn't hear a sound

From this new perspective

Up above the sky

And still won't tell us why

Yes, no one knows
