Astronaut

Blink and a star is on its way to sleep, I'm standing so close to Jupiter, I can feel its winds sweep me off my feet, I'm an astronaut without a name, I'm an astronaut without a name. Consider this, I'm away on a cruise to Saturn's ring tonight. Consider this, The Sun's so far, it's so cold, I can't feel the light, You penetrate my gravity armour, You strike me with your black hole armada. Neptune looks so lonely at night, She longs for Venus but she's so far away, Four hours at the speed of light, But she's bound by the chains of gravity, She's bound by the chain's of gravity. Consider this, I'm a million asteroids left alone in the emptiness, Consider this, I reach out for the blue but I burn in the atmosphere, Your skies have set me on fire, Burning in the flames of your desire. The birth of a star painted in a supernova, The glowing halo of a mothership, Is all that was left over. They reach out for the sun, They reach out for the sun. Consider this, They don't have big black eyes like Mother told us. Consider this, They look like him and her we spoke to on the bus. But you flew your guns at them, You rushed your bombs at them. It was on the news that she brought down the aliens, They looked like me and you but she went after them, But nobody could be found on the ship that brought them here, The red lights on Mars they felt was safer than this fear, And yet she found one of them, The one who saved them all, The one who chose to stay, And take the fall. The unnamed astronaut. The unnamed astronaut.
