The Astronaut

Space cadet Floating up to the sky Past a flock of birds He's shooting up high What follows the blue and the golden sky? Falling apart All the colors, they hide Did the stars ever look so bright? Spa-e-ace spa-e-ace Space cadet Spa-e-ace spa-e-ace Space cadet Don't forget your mother The blue of the sea The warmth of the sun The shade of a tree Don't forget the touch of the Rain and the cold Don't forget what it feels like To grow old On our ship with no destination Take another sip And join the celebration Up here on your trip Through all of creation Do you see the course of our navigation? Spa-e-ace spa-e-ace Space cadet Spa-e-ace spa-e-ace Space cadet Don't forget your mother The blue of the sea The warmth of the sun The shade of a tree Don't forget the touch of the Rain and the cold Don't forget what it feels like To grow old Man your spinning like a bullet from the gun Don't forget That you are just like us on the run While you're out there in the stars on your own Don't forget what it feels like To come home
