lyrics

“Astronauts”

Well I read it in a paper
Must've blown here in the wind
Ten years til no tigers
Ten years til no honey bees
My god, how long has it been?
And weren't we the plucky underdogs
In some ugly duckling story?
Didn't we have it all?
Didn't we shock the world?
A bunch of monkeys
Bound for glory

And you wouldn't believe it now
You wouldn't believe it now
But we were astronauts

I saw a picture of the Earth from space
Made me feel so insignificant
I remember staring up at the bones of dinosaurs
You were so young back then

And you wouldn't believe it now
You wouldn't believe it now
But we were astronauts

And it all turned out as if we'd planned it
Everyone just doing like their old man did
And it's not our nature
It's just our branding
Go out and carve your name in the last tree standing

And you wouldn't believe it now
You wouldn't believe it now
But we were astronauts


We were astronauts
