THE BOMB LYRICS

"Spaceman"

You're out of your mind, you're out of your head.
Get out of the house, get out of your bed.
Look at yourself, she said.
You need to start listening. Stop being led.
And stop watching cartoons--that Flintstone Fred.
(Take a) look at yourself, she said.

You were always going to be a spaceman.
You would take a rocket to the sky.
But you just ended up takin' up a lot of space, man.
You were taken for a great big ride.

Read about life you're filling with dread.
Opt for the easy, don't try instead.
Lazy inside, she said.
Your kids have passed you. They're way ahead.
You spend your time drinking chillable red.
When cut, it's how you bled.

You were always going to be a spaceman.
You would take a rocket to the sky.
But you just ended up takin' up space, man.
You were taken for a great big ride.

...And yet you seem so happy, life in your cocoon.
...Something simple, something good.

You were always going to be a spaceman.
You would take a rocket to the sky.
But you just ended up takin' up a lot of space, man.
You were taken for a great big ride.
