1st Man in Space

I was the first man in space on my street
I had to leave my wife and kids behind
It was a chance I could not pass up on
It was the journey of a lifetime
I threw away my packing up
As they were waving me bye bye
Sometimes all I need is the air that I breathe
And the air that I breathe is so thin I get high
And I’m floating like God in his heaven
High in the stratosphere
Darling come quick you can see our house from here
Seen some burn up on re-entry
Bones that have crumbled to dust
It was rough but I kept it together
But now I’m finding it hard to adjust
How you’re supposed to open these new milk cartons?
Why don’t they make Golden Nuggets no more?
Where was the ticker tape civic reception?
How come no-one wants to know what I saw?
How come no-one wants to know what I saw?
How come no-one wants to know what I saw?
How come no-one wants to know what I saw?
How come no-one wants to know?
And I’m floating like God in his heaven
High in the stratosphere
Darling come quick you can see our house from here
And I’m floating like God in his heaven
High in the stratosphere
Darling come quick you can see our house from here
Lumps of rock
Alien lifeforms
Parties with no atmosphere
Space is cold
Home is colder
When you come home at night and there’s nobody here
When you come home at night and there’s nobody here
When you come home at night and there’s nobody here
When you come home at night and there’s nobody here
And there’s nobody here
And there’s nobody here
And there’s nobody here
And I’m floating like God in his heaven
High in the stratosphere
Darling come quick you can see our house from here
And I’m floating like God in his heaven
And I’m floating like God in his heaven
And I’m floating like God in his heaven
And I’m floating like God in his heaven
And I’m floating like God in his heaven
And I’m floating like God in his heaven
And I’m floating like God in his heaven
And I’m floating like God in his heaven
And I’m floating like God in his heaven
And I’m floating like God in his heaven
And I’m floating like God in his heaven
And I’m floating like God in his heaven
