Astronaut

[Verse 1]

"Do you still believe in God?"

Said the preacher to the astronaut

I heard it's kinda lonesome there

Nothin' to talk to but a cold, cold air

Tell me, tell me, what was it like?

Did meaning fall from that celestial light?

Did it wrap you up in conversation?

Did it leave you like some ineffable nothin'?

[Chorus]

Are you feeling alright?

Right, right

In the blink of a flashing, blinding light

[Verse 2]

Are you feeling alright?

Did you ever really feel anything?

Tell me, are you gonna come back?

Do you really think you're one of them?

They're gonna hunt you, they're gonna cut you

They're gonna open up your body and stuff you

'Til you say it's written, 'til you make the payments

Leave you heavin' in the twigs and the toxic

[Chorus]

There's nothing inside

Inside, inside

Tell me, are the words still paralyzed?

[Outro]

Rise, rise, rise

In the blink of a flashing, blinding light
