Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I wanna be

The best that I can

Wanna show everyone

I'm a serious man

I don't belong here

I got one eye on a different world

And if I get stuck there

Well, I won't care, yeah, yeah

[Verse 2]

I wanna be the last man alive

Floating past Jupiter

Just a flame in the sky

I don't belong here

I got one eye on a different world

And if I go wrong, yeah

Won't be long, yeah, no, no

[PreChorus]

It's gravity, but it won't bring me down

[Chorus]

I wanna be an astronaut

Fly on a missile Castro bought

Travel at the speed of thought

It's all I wanna do (It's all I wanna do)

I wanna be an astronaut (I wanna be)

Fly on a missile Castro bought

Travel at the speed of thought

It's all I wanna do

[Verse 3]

And if I go wrong there

Won't be long there, no, no

[PreChorus]

It's gravity, but it won't bring me down

[Chorus]

I wanna be an astronaut

Fly on a missile Castro bought (Yeah)

Travel at the speed of thought

It's all I wanna do (It's all I wanna do)

I wanna be an astronaut (I wanna be)

Fly on a missile Castro bought

Travel at the speed of thought

It's all I wanna do

I wanna be an astronaut (I wanna be)

Fly on a missile Castro bought

Travel at the speed of thought

It's all I wanna do

I wanna be an astronaut (I wanna be)

Fly on a missile Castro bought (Yeah)

Travel at the speed of thought

It's all I wanna do

[Outro]

All I wanna do

All I wanna do

All I wanna do
