Astronaut

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
Won’t you give me your cold embrace, I'll give you one more song
Then you’ll tell me a lie and say you’ll miss me when I'm gone

'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

Couldn’t tell you for sure the view is better from above
I'm not the first of the astronauts to leave the place I love
