You're like a man, alone in outer space Cradling the earth in the palm of his hand You orbit 'round tempted by a face Of beauty so alive she leaves you spellbound Even the stars seem to burn for her What a melancholy astronautic man You know that you're falling without a place to land Your heart And you are worlds apart Even when she's in your arms You say the things you know will spark her laughter Marvel at the glow of the light it brings But getting close is the darker matter Forces are at work greater than you know Even the stars seem to burn for her What a melancholy astronautic man You know that you're falling without a place to land Your heart And you are worlds apart Even when she's in your arms Round and round and round You go in circles (3x) What a melancholy astronautic man You know that you're falling without a place to land Your heart And you are worlds apart Even when she's in your arms What a melancholy astronautic man You know that you're falling without a place to land Your heart And you are worlds apart Even when she's in your arms
