You, you were the astronaut in my only shot Seems so far away at night But how you shine like a new car
You in the cradle reached out for paper moons, plastic charms I stayed on the ground waiting Because rocket ships can get you high, can't keep you warm
When they build the statue of you One breast out of your suit, i'll be standing there with my Little flag waving too but i can't cheer
Not an astronaut i know i missed my shot Today i watched you take off, you go So very fast so very far and disappear
