[Verse 1]
Nerdy kid at school with astral thoughts (Astral thoughts)
Wanted to be an astronaut (Astronaut)
So I could be alone in space (In space)
Get away (Get away, get away, get away)
Dreamt of Kepler-22b
That's the place for me (For me)
Woo!
[Verse 2]
Didn't get the grades to be a NASA astronaut (Oh no)
Couldn't knuckle down or focus on my schoolwork
I became a ghetto (Ghetto) engineer making shit (Ho ho!) out of glass to refract (Ho) the light from (From) distant stars (Stars)
Then I built a telescope
So big (So big)
Pointed it at Kepler-22b
That's the place for me (For me)
Woo!
[Chorus]
Good for ya (For ya, for ya, ha ha)
Obsession is good for ya (For ya, ah)
Good for ya (Hah, hah, hah)
Obsession is good for ya (Hah)
[Bridge]
Can (Can) you guess the first (First) thing I seen (I've seen)
On Kepler-22b?
A telescope pointing back at me (At me)
On Kepler-22b
A telescope pointing back at me (At me)
On Kepler-22b
A telescope pointing back at me (At me)
On Kepler-22b
A telescope pointing back at me (At me)
Woo!
[Chorus]
Good for ya (For ya, for ya, ha ha)
Obsession is good for ya (For ya, ah)
Good for ya (Hah, hah, hah)
Obsession is good for ya (Hah)
Woo!
Good for ya (For ya, for ya, ha ha)
Obsession is good for ya (For ya, ah)
Good for ya (Hah, hah, hah)
Obsession is good for ya (Hah)
