Astronaut lyrics

interstellar overdrive is playing on her phonograph
she believes he¡¯s still alive out there in his hovercraft
entering the atmosphere it shudders and it breaks apart
fragments falling everywhere one hits her heart
your lonely sister is praying for an astronaut
she rises from her knees to knock his helmet off
walking in an open field she comes across an ankle bone
takes it home and drills a hole and wears it on a leather thong
having such an awful time accepting that he¡¯s really dead
her astronaut¡¯s alive and well inside her head
your lonely sister is praying for an astronaut
she rises from her knees to knock his helmet off
