you don’t know what it feels like
to read and write by starlight
i wrote a play it seemed right
to entertain the moon
space is quite a lonely stage
it turns its starry spotlight gaze
down upon me floating here
with nowhere else to go
darling girl, don’t you know?
i don’t feel satisfaction
when i tell you you’re my world
and i don’t see nothin’ happen
when your lips form empty words
and i’d rather watch from far away
to see how blue you really are
cause even though i’m lost in space
at least it takes my breath away
you tried and tried to make me fear
but it’s so lovely way up here
past the cellophane wrap atmosphere
by the window pane where the glass is clear
and the stars are so bright
and your touch is so cold
but the rocket fuel fires keep me all warm
cause i don’t feel satisfaction
when i tell you you’re my world
and i don’t see nothin’ happen
when your lips form empty words
and i’d rather watch from far away
to see how blue you really are
cause even though i’m lost in space
at least it takes my breath away
i wonder if you’ll miss me
i wonder if you’ll want me
when you’re all alone and it starts to snow
will you think, think of me
or maybe when it rains
and you don’t like the taste
will you start to cry with me
or will you stay the same
