Blitzen Trapper - Astronaut lyrics

Now if you're gonna play your games with me Like the leaf in the top of a tree You better watch your step when you're comin' back down From the city on out to the sea And if your brothers come after me With their horses so wild and so free I'll be waitin' at the gate in a terrible state With the man who holds the key And he'll treat you quite carelessly For he knows my face from a previous place From a country in a foreign land Throwin' dice in a game of chance on the sand But I lost my cool and fate loves a fool Now I'm standin' on the edge of the pack In my spacesuit hopin' that this women will call me at last 'Cause I'm an astronaut on the shores of this grand illusion And I'm fallin down at the sound of this beating heart Yeah, this beatin' heart Yeah, this beatin' heart Your friends all tell ya that ya gotta make a change Gotta make this fake in so many kinda ways Snap to the trees from the trees to the earth From the earth to your grave from the grave to your birth Your heart's been rappin' with? But the world ain't yours 'cause this heart's been sold Gonna pay your lovers way and the ship it sails today Whoa my mind now we're rollin' by and by Got my children to light the way Whoa my mind now we're rollin' by and by Got my brothers to light the way Whoa my mind now we're rollin' by and by Got my sisters to light the way Gotta pave your lovers way And the ship it sails today So if you're gonna play your games with me Better use some real chicery Better get smart 'cause that lock on your heart It ain't as heavy as it used to be In the land without no gravity In this windless place on the edge of space Where the saints and the sinners have pa**ed With the dead satellites and the trash In my spacesuit hopin' that this woman would call me at last 'Cause I'm an astronaut on the shores of this grand illusion And I'm fallin' down at the sound of this beating heart Yeah, this beatin' heart Yeah, this beatin' heart
