So I'm hitting the town tonight, cinder blocks for feet Shuffle through all the gazes I know better than to meet Finally to find a home I finally have to leave Another permanent place I'd always thought I'd make it to I'm not the first of the astronauts to reach first avenue Some suburban flier trying to break some city rules 'Cause I'm leaving the ground tonight, I'm over your ceiling Cause down in your twinkling lights, life is but a dream And though you may pretend this is how it ends gone again, gone again So baby open your canyons up and sweep me right along Wont you give me your cold embrace, I'll give you one more song Then youll tell me a lie and say youll miss me when I'm gone 'Cause I'm leaving the ground tonight, I'm over youre ceiling Cause down in your twinkling lights, life is but a dream And though you may pretend, this is how it ends, gone again, gone again Couldnt tell you for sure the view is better from above I'm not the first of the astronauts to leave the place I love
