Lyrics for Rocket Cathedrals

Bryan I've been a bad boy, you know the way Became an airboy and changed my name My airship dreams had found a clearer sky I've been thinking about the state I'm in I started sinking a bottle of gin In this rocket cathedral pointing to the sky. And I'm spacebound again, I need the money And I can't see the stars, it's so funny, Until I'm earthbound again, I'll miss you honey In this rocket cathedral pointing to the sky. Some go to Lucifer, some may be crucified, I'm gonna Mars Some talk to celluloid, some talk to shiny cars, I talk to stars I've been thinking about all the ways That a whizz man spends all his days In a rocket cathedral pointing to the sky Wish I was grounded, and see the last of my days And get rebounded down the Milky Way In a rocket cathedral pointing to the stars. So I'll go to Lucifer and I may be crucified, Goodbye Mars I'll talk to celluloid, I'll drive a shiny car, Bye bye stars.
