Spaceman

Stars
Stretching endlessly
Mind numbing darkness
Ear bleeding silence
There
Drenched in deep shadow
Piercing is her stare
Still we must go there

Oh
Oh
Oh

On a quiet day
Mounted to the floor
One nine seven four
Arecibo
Looking to the sky
Signalling with worth
M13 to Earth
What do we know
Observatory
Radio to you
Are we coming through?
Frank and Carl
Numbers one to ten
H C N O P
Structure, human beings
Arecibo

In a quiet field
Thinking all was done
Two oh zero one
Is the answer

Ground control
Are we in contact?
I've lost connection
From the ship
I'm shooting
Endlessly
Through the dark scary
Empty abyss
Can you
Track my position
And come and save me
Anything works
I'm scared
Don't have a shadow
Just plummeting through
The universe
Oh god...

Drifting further away from you
Is my signal not coming through
I guess I'll just have to pull through
Does it matter if I just can't make it?
Can't make it
Can't make it
Can't make it
Can't make it
Can't make it
Can't make it
Can I even make it
There's just nothing to do out here
Nothing to do but float away

And so I fly
Straight through the stars
The Earth getting away so far
And now I see
I'm one with the
Universe, it's one with me
And so I soar
Right through the sky
So alone yet scared to die
Has it been days
Or maybe weeks
Something in the blackness

Calls me
As though someone out there is
Watching
Bringing me closer so I
Hear the sky
See the black
Here in
Close your eyes
Til you can't
Feel them
Space we are
Space I am
Trapped in
Til the light's
Leaving your
Helmet
Oh-woah-woah-oh-oh-oh
Oh-woah-woah-woah-woah-woah

It may be peace
It's always cold
We're all together now
We're all together now
In this place
The grip, the hold
She's smiling upon us now
We're smiling down upon

When the world was created from nothing
Wonder if the creator is watching
From the darkness or if darkness is her
Sees me bobbing like a little buoy
Far out in the ocean that is of she
If she chooses me then maybe we can fly
Fly
Fly
Oh, fly
Soar through the open and run
Oh, run
Run
Though we know it's just us
Oh my...

Where've they gone
Our shining stars
Vanished into the
Emptiness
Though something's coming
Into vision

Hurling straight towards it
Sucking me in
Helpless falling
Towards that planet

Back
Stuck on Earth again
Inside a field
From what I can see
And
Here is a family
Taking some pictures
They don't see me

I just
Don't understand it
Who's in the suit now?
Where did I go?
What's standing
'mongst this family
'side of this grassy
Gorgeous meadow
All of
The air has finally
Depleated from me
I see her face
Goddess
I'll never leave you
Take me back to your
Icey embrace
