You're like a man alone in outerspace
Cradling the earth in the palm of his hand
You orbit 'round tempted by a face
Beauty so alive she leaves you spell bound
Even the stars seem to burn for her
What a melancholy astronautic man
You know that you're falling without a place to land
Your heart, and you are worlds apart
Even though she's in your arms
You say the things you know will spark a laughter
Marvel at the glow of the light that it brings
But getting closer, is it darker matter
Forces at work, greater than you know
Even the stars seem to burn for her
What a melancholy astronautic man
You know that you're falling without a place to land
Your heart, and you are worlds apart
Even though she's in your arms
Round and round and round
You go in circles
Round and round and round
You go in circles
Round and round and round
You go in circles
What a melancholy astronautic man
You know that you're falling without a place to land
Your heart, and you are worlds apart
Even though she's in your arms
What a melancholy astronautic man
You know that you're falling without a place to land
Your heart, and you are worlds apart
Even though she's in your arms
