lyrics

I’m an astronaut, this world is all my cup
Get on my escalator, ‘cause it only goes up
Let’s pick up baggage and treasure in like amounts
Then give them all away, ‘cause nothing really counts

I learned to validate
Pay taxes for my license plates
Play music almost every day
And go astray

Maybe I never had second sight
Maybe I should’ve picked a few more fights
Maybe I was wrong but maybe I was right
I’ve got trademark issues but I’ll be all right
Maybe I never had second sight
Maybe I should’ve picked a few more fights
Maybe I was wrong but maybe I was right
I’ve got trademark issues but I’ll be all right

I’m a polyglot, my words are blowing up
A leading indicator, I’m on the Stanley Cup
Let’s mix up damage and pleasure in Swiss accounts
Then live just for today, or something thereabouts

I learned to fabricate
Took matches to the paper chase
Got stupid drunk on Beaujolais
And got away

Maybe I never lit the pilot light
Maybe I should’ve got the levels right
Maybe I was wrong but maybe I was right
I’ve got trademark issues but I’ll be all right
Maybe I never lit the pilot light
Maybe I should’ve got the levels right
Maybe I was wrong but maybe I was right
I’ve got trademark issues but I’ll be all right

(Hey, time for an instrumental break?
What, you mean like we each take a channel?
Yeah!)

Play music every day and go astray
Play music every day and go astray

Maybe we never had second sight
Maybe we should’ve picked a few more fights
Maybe we were wrong but maybe we were right
We’ve got trademark issues and we’ll be all right
Maybe we never lit the pilot light
Maybe we should’ve got the levels right
Maybe we were wrong but maybe we were right
We’ve got trademark issues and we’ll be all right
