Astronaut

I work mornings in the old yard

digging in the ground

but I moonlight as an astronaut

mostly just sit around and howl

Won't you come to my house tonight

we could sleep on the floor

I got this window that looks out to Orion

I paid extra for

Oh forget about the sun

he's forgotten us by now

Kiss me so I remember how

We'll turn these sorrows into strangers

buy them a ticket on the train

drop 'em off at the station

watch 'em ride far away

far away . . .
