Lyrics

Layla In the Rocket

Everything is falling to the wayside now
(Side now, side now, side now)
Dancing through the fire if the flames allow
Nothing left to bellow about
Tough luck, I won the lotto (hey)
Goodbye is bitter to swallow
Star map, the path that I follow
One way ticket to the planet Apollo

I'm blasting off in three
I watch you through the window, crying
The satellites and me
Layla in the rocket, smiling

Oh, it's just a supernova
Looks like this shit is over
Solo, but I'm not lonely
Look to a broken rover
Cruising in an atmos', top down, you go
Breathing in the vacuum, one with the cosmos
What's next? Only God knows
Only I know

I'm blasting off in three (oh, it's just a supernova)
I watch you through the window, crying
The satellites and me (solo, but I'm not lonely)
Layla in the rocket, smiling

I'm blasting off in three
Watch you through the window, crying
Climbing up so steep
Layla in the rocket, smiling

I'm blasting off in three
Watch you through the window, crying
Climbing up so steep
Layla in the rocket, smiling
