Spaceman

Angman, hangman
Why you going to swing me so high?
I've been working on fire all my days
And it's time for me to die
Burning, burning
Somebody better come, I'm burning
Burning, burning
Somebody better come right now
Doctor, doctor
Why you going to keep me so high?
I've been digging in the snow all my days
It's a wonder I'm alive
Knocking, knocking
Somebody going to come now knocking
Knocking, knocking
Somebody going to come right now
Blackbird, blackbird
How you keep on flying so high?
I've been choking on feathers all of my days
Now I'm all alone inside
Celebrate, celebrate
Come celebrate my turning
Celebrate, celebrate
Come celebrate it now
Calibrate, calibrate
Calibrate my engine
Calibrate, come calibrate
Come calibrate my ride
Spaceman, spaceman
Are all the planets so high?
I've been waiting for a spacecraft all my days
Come tell me it's time to die
Knocking, knocking
Somebody going to come now knocking
Knocking, knocking
Somebody going to come right now
Celebrate, come celebrate
Come celebrate my turning
Celebrate, come celebrate
Come celebrate it now
