Mr Spaceman

Your ascension request has been denied
You will not be permitted to walk with us among the stars

Can you hear the rumble
The bright light in the sky
Men in suits and pretty girls
Please tell us how to die
Flying out in spaceships
Like some kind of alien breed
They came from high above us
Crying out please worship me

Lifeless eyes, a plastic face
Yet somehow they're in charge of everything

We sent a letter to the spaceman, to the spaceman
But he said no words to us at all
High up above us there's a spaceman, there's a spaceman
But maybe he doesn't wanna talk

They built us up a castle
They made it out of glass
If you give them your time and money
They'll give you second class
Lecturing the public
The ivory tower glare
Godless, mindless people yet they offer thoughts and prayers
That's right

There ain't nothing in the way
When your crimes are just a bill to pay

We sent a letter to the spaceman, to the spaceman
But he said no words to us at all
High up above us there's a spaceman, there's a spaceman
But maybe he doesn't wanna talk

At the end of the world
Men in suits and pretty girls
Take your towns and grind them up
Then they leave you in the dust

We sent a letter to the spaceman, to the spaceman
But he said no words to us at all
High up above us there's a spaceman, there's a spaceman
But maybe he doesn't wanna talk
