Lyrics
Astronaut
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
The Western lands
Day turns to Night
Immaterial play of light
It's very nice out here
Poked my hand in a hornet's nest
They flew out around my face
I guess it's just self defense
The camera pans
The focus shifts
The world is a hornet's nest
I learned my lesson well
I surf the net
And watch TV
There's peace in the Middle East
Feel like I'm an astronaut
Now I am an astronaut
