Spaceman
from Unreleased Songs by Voda
lyrics
ON A PERFECT DAY, AT THE BREAK OF DAWN
THEY HELD HIM UP IN A THUNDERSTORM
AND THEY SAID, "THE BOY'S A CUT ABOVE THE REST"
BUT EVERYTHING WENT STRAIGHT DOWN HILL
THE SUN WON'T SHINE, IT NEVER WILL
AND YOUR FRIENDS, THEY WONDER WHO I AM
YOU SAY, "I'M A BETTER MAN!"
AND YOU SMILE LIKE YOU UNDERSTAND
NEVER WANT TO COME BACK DOWN
NEVER HEARD A SWEETER SOUND
NEVER SEEN A BRIGHTER LIGHT
IT'S GOOD WHEN YOU'RE AROUND
NEVER KNEW JUST WHAT TO DO
TO BE STRONG AND BRAVE AND TRUE
YOU'LL NEVER BE A SPACEMAN
BUT AT LEAST I TELL THE TRUTH
DREAMED IT ALL AWAY IN THE HINTERLANDS
LIVING UP TO MY OWN DEMANDS
AND I THOUGHT I KNEW THE MASTERPLAN
SPENT SO MUCH TIME ON A PRETTY GIRL
WHO TOOK SO MUCH AND COST THE WORLD
BUT I SWEAR, I'D DO IT ALL AGAIN
YOU SAY, "I'M A BETTER MAN!"
AND YOU SMILE LIKE YOU UNDERSTAND
NEVER WANT TO COME BACK DOWN
NEVER HEARD A SWEETER SOUND
NEVER SEEN A BRIGHTER LIGHT
IT'S GOOD WHEN YOU'RE AROUND
NEVER KNEW JUST WHAT TO DO
TO BE STRONG AND BRAVE AND TRUE
YOU'LL NEVER BE A SPACEMAN
BUT AT LEAST I TELL THE TRUTH
NEVER WAS A SPACEMAN
NEVER WAS A SPACEMAN
NEVER WAS A SPACEMAN
NEVER WAS A SPACEMAN
NEVER WAS A SPACEMAN
NEVER WAS A SPACEMAN
NEVER WAS A SPACEMAN
NEVER WAS A SPACEMAN
THEY HELD HIM UP IN A THUNDERSTORM
AND THEY SAID, "THE BOY'S A CUT ABOVE THE REST"
BUT EVERYTHING WENT STRAIGHT DOWN HILL
THE SUN WON'T SHINE, IT NEVER WILL
AND YOUR FRIENDS, THEY WONDER WHO I AM
YOU SAY, "I'M A BETTER MAN!"
AND YOU SMILE LIKE YOU UNDERSTAND
NEVER WANT TO COME BACK DOWN
NEVER HEARD A SWEETER SOUND
NEVER SEEN A BRIGHTER LIGHT
IT'S GOOD WHEN YOU'RE AROUND
NEVER KNEW JUST WHAT TO DO
TO BE STRONG AND BRAVE AND TRUE
YOU'LL NEVER BE A SPACEMAN
BUT AT LEAST I TELL THE TRUTH
DREAMED IT ALL AWAY IN THE HINTERLANDS
LIVING UP TO MY OWN DEMANDS
AND I THOUGHT I KNEW THE MASTERPLAN
SPENT SO MUCH TIME ON A PRETTY GIRL
WHO TOOK SO MUCH AND COST THE WORLD
BUT I SWEAR, I'D DO IT ALL AGAIN
YOU SAY, "I'M A BETTER MAN!"
AND YOU SMILE LIKE YOU UNDERSTAND
NEVER WANT TO COME BACK DOWN
NEVER HEARD A SWEETER SOUND
NEVER SEEN A BRIGHTER LIGHT
IT'S GOOD WHEN YOU'RE AROUND
NEVER KNEW JUST WHAT TO DO
TO BE STRONG AND BRAVE AND TRUE
YOU'LL NEVER BE A SPACEMAN
BUT AT LEAST I TELL THE TRUTH
NEVER WAS A SPACEMAN
NEVER WAS A SPACEMAN
NEVER WAS A SPACEMAN
NEVER WAS A SPACEMAN
NEVER WAS A SPACEMAN
NEVER WAS A SPACEMAN
NEVER WAS A SPACEMAN
NEVER WAS A SPACEMAN
