The Spaceman

The sky lights up like the fourth of July
as the spaceman makes his entrance
He's the first to arrive but will he survive
the flames of the atmosphere

His manual supplies some useless advice
like buckle and brace, there's gravity in this place
but don't let it get you down
don't let it get you down

Don't mind me
I don't land very often
I mostly float through space
If things don't go to plan is that a problem or just every day?

When the rocket touched down plowing through a golden field
I swear I saw only you
are you hiding from the light like the moon in its final phase

From the distance there's smoke, shades darker than your chimney
Red truck down a dirt road to make the find of the century
maybe the only ones left, still doing their best

But the crash pulls a crowd and everybody's looking for their piece
the news crew was there, they've come to skew the story like
maybe we're not alone in the universe
maybe we're not alone in the universe

Don't mind me I don't land very often
I mostly float through space
If things don't go to plan is that a problem or just every day?

When the rocket touched down plowing through a golden field
I swear I saw only you
are you hiding from the light like the moon in its final phase

Galactic dreams bigger than the moon
a light year away still humming the same tune
he knew every star by name

But the spaceman's cheeks were looking pretty blue
he opens his eyes but the spinning continues
pulls himself together reads the letter from his lover
says don't regret I'll see you in another life

Don't mind me I don't land very often
I mostly float through space
If things don't go to plan is that a problem or just every day?

When the rocket touched down
Plowing through a golden field
I swear I saw only you
are you hiding from the light like the moon in its final phase
