|
so i'm hittin the town tonight |
|
cinder blocks for feet |
|
shufflin' through all the gazes i know better than to meet |
|
finally i found a home |
|
i finally have to leave |
|
another permanent place i'd always hoped i'd make it to |
|
i'm not the first of the astronauts to reach first avenue |
|
a suburban flower tryin' to break some city rules |
|
[chorus] |
|
cause i'm leavin the ground tonight |
|
i'm over your ceilin' |
|
????????????? |
|
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 tell me a lie |
|
and say you'll miss me when i'm gone |
|
[chorus] |
|
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 |
