One Night As an Astronaut

One night as an astronaut
Can redefine your life
As the lines get blurred
And your speech gets slurred and tangles up like wires
And you have made up your mind
Watch all that's beautiful die

One night by Chapala Lake
Can call to mind her attic space
As she talks to you in the slanted truth
Her green eyes burning bright
We hang like ghost tonight
Watch all that's beautiful die

We're always out here waiting
For something to arrive
And often we've gone missing
Like misconnectin' flights
And the airport at night is empty
So were looking towards the sky
To let all that is beautiful die

One night as an astronaut
Can redefine your life
As the drinks get poured and the room distorts
To colors soft and bright
You have made up your mind
Watched all that's beautiful die

I've tried my best to act my age
But I couldn't stomach it
I've tried so hard to dance through days
But I lack the confidence
The interstate is endless
So we're stopping for the night
To let all that is beautiful die
