Royal Republic - Everybody Wants To Be An Astronaut

Got out of bed this morning
I didn't sleep at all
Today I'm making history
I'm picking up my call.
I'm going into space, man
Don't know when I'm coming down
But I'll send you all a message
When I'm passing my old town.

So tell me
Why is it we're never happy?

Everybody wants to be an astronaut
And take the long tall trail into the stars
Everybody wants to show
A brother what they got
Everybody wants to be an astronaut

I can feel my body shiver
The lights are everywhere
They marvel at my heartbeats
Inside the atmosphere.
And I'm looking at the world
In a way you never could
I knew I'd be a travellin' man
But I misunderstood.

So tell me
Why is it we're never happy?

‘Cause everybody wants to be an astronaut
And take a long tall trail into the stars
Everybody wants to show
A brother what they got
Everybody wants to be an astronaut

Don't you tell me that I'll never
I will show you what I'm made of
Ready for the E.V.A.
Come on, let's go outside and play

What you say...?

Everybody wants to be an astronaut
And take a long tall trail into the stars
Everybody wants to show
A brother what they got
Everybody wants to be...

Everybody wants to be a superstar
Rock the world and make
The cover of the Time
‘Cause everybody 's happy
When they’re playing the guitar

Everybody wants to be...
Everybody wants to be...
Everybody wants to be an astronaut!
