I Used to Dream of Astronauts Lyrics by The Farstar

Strange Kids EP

2009

Turn off the radio
Feel those rivers blue and red racing through your veins
Just listen to their melody
Deeper than the dying sea
Like a steady, very gentle rain
Feel it coming down
I used to dream of astronauts and zero gravity
When I finally came awake I noticed I was bleeding
I traded my want of weightlessness for breaking and entering
Just looking for all those pieces I lost when I was thirteen
Just turn off that television
Listen to the air around you, buzzing in that silence
Open up all your windows
Let the outside in
Like an animal once caged but now running free again
I used to dream of astronauts and zero gravity
When I finally came awake I noticed I was bleeding
I traded my want of weightlessness for beer and pornography
Just looking for all those pieces I lost when I was thirteen
I'm sorry if I repeat myself and all my apologies
It simply seems I do it better than most anything
I used to dream of astronauts and zero gravity
When I finally came awake I noticed I was bleeding
I traded my want of weightlessness for self-righteous piety
Just looking for all those pieces I lost when I was thirteen
