June 22, what I wouldn't do for a meal with you

Real fork, real knife, in a shit diner

The sound of metal on china

Remember when we rode the coaster

Remember when we sailed astray

You think they could’ve worked out the drugs up here

'Cause it's like that, but floating in space

'Earthrise' doesn't hit quite the same

When you been spun merry-go-round all day

God, I miss that grounding feeling

Grass on bare toes, gravity healing

Anyway, enough about me

How did the little one sleep?

Did you make it to the zoo?

Fuck, I miss her and you

I've been dreaming in a virtual lab

When I stood up in class

Said I wanted to be an astronaut, they laughed

T-Minus ten minutes and counting down, four, three, two, one

We had lift-off, we're heading out, that's when it turned south

The nausea's familiar, but I can't put my finger on it

Never quite felt like this before, but it's nothing out of the norm

The stimulating euphoria, yeah, I'm floating like a see-saw feather

The constellations settle the space-sickness, putting me back together

Moaning and groaning, rolling side to side

The parasites are building a city on my intestines

I see you swaddled by

The serenity of terrestrial fabric

Entangled in it's love

I see you

I pull you taut, you dissolve

Between white-knuckled feelings

Like a hand full of sand

Ooh-ooh

(Ooh)

June 22, continue, I lost you there, must have been a solar flare

Where was I, yes? Ooh, thinking of them and thinking of you

Since your brother told me that he cried a lot

When they saw a guy who looked like their pop

Oh yeah, I'm not near to fuss about who pays the bill

To sit on chairs that touch the floor, for that, I'd give it all

Till then, dreaming's all I can do, I love you, over, Stu
