“Spaceman” was 4 Non Blondes' third single, their last to have chart success, reaching the top 40 in six countries overseas.
In the US, it was not a pop hit like their blockbuster second single “What’s Up?”, but did have minor success on rock radio.
Starry night bring me down
Till I realize the moon
It seems so distant yet
I felt it pass right through
And I see what I see
A new world is over me
So I'll reach up to the sky
And pretend that I'm a
Spaceman in another place and time
I guess I'm looking for a brand new place
Is there a better life for me?
Subtle wind blow me gone
Let me rest upon your move
I trust I'll end up sleeping
Cradled in my doom
And I feel what I feel
I can't grasp what is not real
So I'll get myself real high
And imagine I'm a
Spaceman, in another place and time
I guess I'm looking for a brand new place
Is there a better life for me?
And I remember in my mind
They say I'm a daydreaming
Is it all that it seems
Or am I all the things I'm looking for? Yeah
And I see what I see
A new world is over me
And I'll reach up to the sky
And imagine I'm a
Spaceman in another place and time
I guess I'm looking for a brand new place
I remember living in a different life
Is there a better life for me?
