Blitzen Trapper - Astronaut Lyrics
Now if you're gonna play your games with meLike the leaf in the top of a treeYou better watch your step when you're comin' back downFrom the city on out to the seaAnd if your brothers come after meWith their horses so wild and so freeI'll be waitin' at the gate in a terrible stateWith the man who holds the keyAnd he'll treat you quite carelesslyFor he knows my face from a previous placeFrom a country in a foreign landThrowin' dice in a game of chance on the sandBut I lost my cool and fate loves a foolNow I'm standin' on the edge of the packIn my spacesuit hopin' that this woman will call me at lastCause I'm an astronaut on the shores of this grand illusionAnd I'm fallin' down at the sound of this beating heartYeah, this beatin' heartYeah, this beatin' heartYour friends all tell ya that ya gotta make a changeGotta make this fake in so many kinda waysSnap to the trees from the trees to the earthFrom the earth to your grave from the grave to your birthYour heart's been happy with a sinner and the goldBut the gold ain't yours cause this heart's been soldGonna pave your lover's way and the ship it sails todayWoah my my now we're rollin' by and byGot my children to light the wayWoah my my now we're rollin' by and byGot my brothers to light the wayWoah my my now we're rollin' by and byGot my sisters to light the wayGotta pave your lover's way and the ship it sails todaySo if you're gonna play your games with meBetter use some real chicoryBetter get smart cause that lock on your heartIt ain't as heavy as it used to beIn the land without no gravityIn this windless place on the edge of spaceWhere the saints and the sinners have passedWith the dead satellites and the trashIn my spacesuit hopin' that this woman would call me at lastCause I'm an astronaut on the shores of this grand illusionAnd I'm fallin' down at the sound of this beating heartYeah, this beatin' heartYeah, this beatin' heart
