I Mother Earth - One More Astronaut Lyrics
One more astronaut in black skinof universeOne more travellin' manWith heavy tired eyes, feelin coldThinking around the clock of drinkingOn the job, of the powdered foodAnd piss bavgs, never having sex and growing oldHeadspace...Alive and painlessWeightless, and almost saneI close my eyes, I become the skyHeadspace..Alone and shamelessCan't wait to find the facesI left behind in a troubled timeBack homeIt gets so lonely you knowWeeks and months alone chasingSleep and space junk and the dyingStars I've known and lovedThrough true declineOf the five billion minds or soThrough mudslidesAnd earthquakes, the blue one holdsAnd rolls alongOne more astronaut inEndless old universe withOne more second chance atWondering why he's here at allBold are the ones whoCome over the line to fall overThe horizon..Never ones to fade awayThen it hit me, thisCosmic pull and energyIt kinda makes me wonderIf I'll ever make itBack homecan't see the forest for allThe green, it all gets in my wayCan't dig a desert withoutTHe need for old religion, for holy grailsAnd a Jesus nail through the headFor all the pain and misguided faithMy mind erased before I had timeTo waste my afternoonEvery thirty days a light goes onANd brightens my backyard a yellowDying sunI bite my tongue and swallow pride and bloodOn some other plane I haveBecome ffected drawn and strangeI'm inclined to blameMy mother for dressing me like a girlI don't know maybe that's kind of weirdA teenage breakdown without the willOr without thinkingTaking low roads and coloured pillsAlways searchingMaybe then I would findA place in this messIt swells a vein that the only thingsThat are keeping me awakeAre re-runs of the mod squad and cartoons
