Lyrics

ROCKETS

YOUR MOTHER ALWAYS SAID
YOU COULD READ THE STARS
WHILE THE REST OF US
FOUGHT OVER JUPITER AND MARS

YOUR DADDY USED TO SAY
OF HIS LITTLE GIRL
THAT YOU WOULD SING ALL NIGHT
OF OTHER WORLDS

AND HOW THE CHILDREN USED TO TEASE YOU SO
WE LOVE TO CRUCIFY ~ THE THINGS WE DON'T KNOW
UNTIL YOU GREW BRIGHTER
AND WE JUST GREW OLD

THEY COULDN'T HELP BUT CALL YOU CRAZY
ONCE WORD GOT OUT
YOU HAD BUILT YOURSELF A ROCKET SHIP
IN YOUR DADDY'S HOUSE
THAT WOULD TAKE YOU BACK HOME
TO WHERE YOU SAID YOU BELONGED
WHERE WE ALL BELONG

AND AS YOUR ENGINES FIRED ON THAT HOLY NIGHT
AND YOUR ROCKET SHIP ~ TOOK GENTLY TO THE SKY
AS YOU FLEW LOW AND SLOW OVER THE NEIGHBORHOOD LIGHTS
WE ALL WAVED GOODBYE
AS YOUR AFTERBURNERS FIRED
AND YOUR GLOW DISAPPEARED ~ INTO THE NIGHT SKY
INTO THE NIGHT SKY
INTO THE NIGHT SKY
INTO THE NIGHT SKY
