Amanda Palmer - The Astronaut Lyrics
Is it enough to have some loveSmall enough to slip inside a bookSmall enough to cover with your handBecause everyone around you wants to lookIt is enough to have some loveSmall enough to slip inside the cracksThe pieces don't fit together so goodWith all the breaking and all the gluing backAnd I am still not getting what I wantI want to touch the back of your right armI wish you could remind me who I wasBecause every day I'm a little further offBut you are, my love, the astronautFlying in the face of scienceI will gladly stay an afterthoughtJust bring back some nice remindersAnd it is getting harder to pretendThat life goes on without you in the wakeAnd can you see the means without the endIn the random frantic action that we takeAnd is it getting easy not to care?Despite the many rings around your nameIt isn't funny and it isn't fairYou've traveled all this way and it's the sameBut you are, my love, the astronautFlying in the face of scienceI will gladly stay an afterthoughtJust bring back some nice remindersI would tell them anything to see you split the eveningBut as you see I do not have an awful lot to tellEverybody's sick for something that they can find fascinatingEveryone but you and even you aren't feeling wellYes you are, my love, the astronautCrashing in the name of scienceJust my luck they found your upper halfIt's a very nice reminderIt's a very nice reminderAnd you may be acquainted with the nightBut I have seen the darkness in the dayAnd you must know it is a terrifying sightBecause you and I are living the same way
