Astronaut

makes my hair stand up on end
something alien happenin'
synchronise but don't comprehend
'cos where I stop that's where you begin
another moment, I dawn it
a pleasure rising when I take the hit
and I'm addicted to the state you're in
'cos you're getting me out of it
wasted there's nothing gonna ace this
and we're gonna go to space, yeah
'cos I'm leaving with an astronaut
grooving out to X-ray specs
something tells me you're the alien sex
I can't imagine now what comes next
when this astronaut connects
comin' on when I touch your skin
a kind of strange light you emit
I feel your gravity pull me in
now you're getting me out of it
wasted there's nothing gonna ace this
and we're gonna go to space, yeah
'cos I'm leaving with an astronaut
wasted there's nothing gonna ace this
and we're gonna go to space, yeah
'cos I'm leaving with an astronaut
bare-feet for quantum leap
because space is hot and deep
and we follow giant footprints as we fall
in falling like the twins
through Saturn's holy rings
and if they can't hold us
where it's gonna end up?
Anybody knows...
an astronaut…
an astronaut…
wasted there's nothing gonna ace this
and we're gonna go to space, yeah
'cos I'm leaving with an astronaut
wasted there's nothing gonna ace this
and we're gonna go to space, yeah
'cos I'm leaving with an astronaut
an astronaut…
