Head to Space

The world is turning, we're on our way
The burning circle, life, leave it behind you
You've got no problems, they've gone away
So take your money, throw it behind you

This ancient tarmac in rearview grey
Is the only thing I, I leave behind me
The horizon's burning, so far away
From the same old people in the same old houses

And I am a capsule turning, far away
Oh, and I-I-I see the old world burning, far away

So clear the launchpad and arm the capsule
Two tonnes of gelegnite explode behind you
Your father's money has gone away
Eight billion dollars, they, they burn behind you

Goodbye
Boys
My
Old
Heart
Groans
With light
Shows

And I am a capsule turning, far away
Oh, and I-I-I see the old world burning, far away

So fire your burners and head to space
And hear the gelegnite explode behind you
All of your problems have gone away
Eight billion dollars, they burn behind you, and I
Head to space
And leave your problems so far behind you

Now ditch the burners
Rotate the capsule
And spit your toothpaste
In perfect circles
Oh, oh, Earth's an emerald, so far behind you
And David's spiders, they, they crawl beside you
The flags are flying so far away
For the brave new people in, in brave new houses
They'll build new statues in, in brave new dirt
So far away from the laughter rising

And I am a capsule turning, far away
Oh, and I-I-I see the old world burning, far away

(Far away, far away)

It's all so easy, boy
Tic Tac on the Eastern Seaboard
As quick as Vaseline
Quick smile for the camera, three, four
It's all so easy, boy
When's your birthday? Late September
I'll send a telegram
As long as someone else remembers
Oh, it's all so easy, boy
Blue smoke on the Eastern Seaboard
As slick as Vaseline
Quick smile for the camera, three, four
