I was the first man
in space on our street
I had to leave my wife
and kids behind
It was a chance
I could not pass up on
It was the journey
of a lifetime
I threw away
my packing up
As they were
waving me bye, bye
Sometimes all I need
is the air that I breathe
And the air
that I breathe is so thin,
I get high
And I'm floating like God
in his heaven
High in the stratosphere
Darling come quick
you can see
our house from here
Seems some
burn up on re-entry
Bones that
have crumbled to dust
It was rough
but I kept it together
But now I'm finding
it hard to adjust
How are you supposed
to open
these new milk cartons
Why don't they make
golden nuggets no more
Where was the
ticker tape,
civic reception
How come no-one wants
to know what I saw
How come no-one wants
to know what I saw
How come no-one wants
to know what I saw
How come no-one wants
to know what I saw
How come no-one
wants to know
And I'm floating like God
in his heaven
High in the stratosphere
Darling come quick
you can see our house
from here
And I'm floating like God
in his heaven
High in the stratosphere
Darling come quick
you can see our house
from here
Lumps of rock,
alien life forms
Party's with
no atmosphere
Space is cold,
home is colder
When you come home
at night and there's
nobody here
When you come home
at night and there's
nobody here
There's nobody here
there's nobody here
And I'm floating like God
in his heaven
High in the stratosphere
Darling come quick
you can see our house
from here
And I'm floating like God
in his heaven
High in the stratosphere
Darling come quick
you can see our house
from here
And I'm floating like God
in his heaven
And I'm floating like God
in his heaven
And I'm floating like God
in his heaven
