lyrics

Last Monday I was staring down my waning burger bun
It glowed before me, a perfect lunar face
Someone stuck a flag in deep and I began to doubt
That the stars were there to signify the states
All the sesame seeds were craters
Terrain I couldn't bear
The oxygen grew thin,
And it made me cringe
I stood up tall
Saluting from my chair

Navigating blindly, the mission soon did change
Shapes and colors dripping limey green
Gravity and clarity escaping constantly
I looked down and realized my plate was clean
The muttering of strangers
Grew intensely loud
The sound waves glared
and I got scared
I ran away
And hid behind a cloud

Good night, sweet Stacey,
Sending love from outer space
I hope I land soon so that I can kiss your face
I saw your legs, they glowed and danced, reflected in a frame
They walked me back to earth
Burning feet, dancing flame

As I escaped the strangers and the remnants of my lunch
I finally felt that I again was safe
And the weightlessness of comfort tends to wake up memories
And makes me think of times I spent with Stace
How our feet did flutter
How our heads did spin
Strip me bare,
I don’t care
Tuck me in
We’ll sleep it off again

Packing bags while weightless is harder than you think,
Articles will spin and float away
I might have slept an hour
descending through the sky
I closed the door, walked way
passed the desk, but forgot to pay
Gotta catch that plane
Gotta chase the sun
Gotta plant my flag
In a burger bun

Good night, sweet Stacey,
Sending love from outer space
I hope I land soon so I can kiss your face
I saw your legs, they glowed and danced, reflected in a frame
They walked me back to earth
Burning feet, dancing flame
