Lyrics for Astronaut

The Western lands Day turns to Night Immaterial play of light It's very nice out here Poked my hand in a hornet's nest They flew out around my face I guess it's just self defense The camera pans The focus shifts The world is a hornet's nest I learned my lesson well I surf the net And watch TV There's peace in the Middle East Feel like I'm an astronaut Now I am an astronaut
