Lyrics

I am ready to go back to
Outer space, it’s my place
Recognize the faces, the foreign shapes
I know the people of my race
And you are catching there at home plate
And I’m clear off in left field
Not at the second stupid base
Waiting to make a double play
I’m out in orbit waving goodbye
As I rocket far away

Rain delay
Too much dumb, damn static
In our game
Can’t hear the signals
Too much atmosphere
Houston, we have a problem
I’m burning up here
Arm’s singed to rubber
Bottom of the ninth
And I’m patrolling Pluto

The only way to win

Lover, you just never knew what it was like
To kick around in my shoes sleep with my
Childhood rules learned in Sun, Sunday school
And I won’t count the sleepless moons
I tried to appeal them for you
The shoes are broken in, the fans have gone
The laces are long, the currents are strong
And I could drown in my freezing swimming,
Swimming pool

Behind in the count
Risky day for lift off
Stars dealigned
Three balls and two strikes
Zero gravity
Jammed comms, windshield cracked
From your impact
Who’s that in the dugout?
Guess I struck out
Broken hearts hemisphere

Tears in space, tears in space, tears in space
Rain delay
Too much dumb, damn static
In our game
Can’t hear the signals
Too much atmosphere
Houston, we have a problem
I’m burning up here
Arm’s singed to rubber
Bottom of the ninth
And I’m patrolling Pluto

The only way to win

Behind in the count
Risky day for lift off
Stars dealigned
Three balls and two strikes
Zero gravity
Jammed comms, windshield cracked
From your impact
Who’s that in the dugout?
Guess I struck out
Broken hearts hemisphere

Tears in space, pigs in space
