lyrics

Just a couple of astronauts looking for space
Does your whole life feel like a countdown babe?
We had the burning of love to keep the feeling of flight
Until we fell like a steam-powered satellite

Now we're working these jobs and even bleeding the tax
Paying return to a world that'll never come back
Tell me you'll be the softness into which I'll scream
When the whole damn thing's got ahold of me

Now I'm looking around and everyone's looking down
Oh, are they trapped in their screens?
Please tell me what does it mean?
Does anyone want to sing, dance, revel or fight?
Is this the fizzling end into the infinite night?

'Cause I don't really want to end this story
I don't really want to face the future alone
You're the only other one from outer space
Love me like it's for the sake of the human race

Have they lost all common sense or just the smell and the taste?
What a sensational river of unfortunate waste
I know that you see it too, they're bringing death to your door
And the deliver is free if you buy two or more

Now I'm looking around and everyone's looking down
Oh, are they trapped in their screens?
Please tell me what does it mean?
Does anyone want to sing, dance, revel or fight?
Is this the fizzling end into the infinite night?

'Cause I don't really want to end this story
I don't really want to face the future alone
You're the only other one from outer space
Love me like it's for the sake of the human race
