Patrick Marshall - Astronaut lyrics

I want to be an astronaut. I want to rocket to the heavens. I want to float and fly and cry tears that don't drip off the end of my nose or run down my cheeks, but just stay put and linger and really count. I want to be an astronaut. I want to rocket to the heavens. I want to wear a blinding space suit that never gets dirty, never gets wrinkles, and looks cool on t.v. I want to be an astronaut. I want to leave the world behind. I want to leave the world behind with all of its fancy people and loud colors and blank looks and omni-potent pocketbooks. I want to be an astronaut so one day, when I'm ready, I can steer toward home and let everyone watch me rocket by.
