I never look at trees, and think that they're not there
I never question physics, pretty sure my personality's in here, somewhere…
I can tell you're not impressed
Sometimes I lose the plot, and I need the open air
I tend to suffocate, I always want to disappear
I found a hiding place, you'll never miss me here
And as a little boy, I'd be out here for days
I'd wander like a bird, with nothing in my way
I'm always chasing ghosts, they're always wandering away
When I was five I used to dream, about exploring outer space
Buzz Aldrin woke me up at night, handed me my astrosuit and beckoned me his way.
And I was just too scared.
Now I'm staring at the sky, trying to find my way
Blackness fills my window, there's nothing here to see
I left you all a note: "Exploring new frontiers,
I love you very much, be back in a few years"
I'm always chasing stars, they're always wandering away
So now I'm on my own, just me and my own head
Can't see the earth no more, the radio's gone dead
But still I wander on, with nothing in my way
Remember only you, the ghost I used to chase
And I start to lose my mind, I'm hearing voices in my head
Well my spaceship's spitting smoke, and I'm not feeling great myself
And as I burn away, you might just see a tiny star
If you look in the right place, it's just a shame you never are
And I'm forever chasing ghosts, we're always wandering apart
