A song inspired by the album cover. Guitar tuning: CGCGGC

lyrics

[Verse 1]
Hurry on home, By way of the moon.
To the expanse of space, in your wallpapered room.

[Verse 2]
Reclined in position. Everything's in place.
Your shortwave radio, is dialed into space.

[Chorus]
Stars stuck to the ceiling.
Glowing dimly in the dark.
A phosphorescent face.
The armchair Astronaut.

[Verse 3]
Now your eyes are seein’ stars in the static on the screen.
With one eye on your telescope,
The other in a dream.

[Bridge]
Would you leave behind the darkness?
to watch the birds in flight?
or remove your stellar suit?
To feel the warmth of light.

[Chorus]
Stars stuck to the ceiling,
Glowing dimly in the dark.
In your sea of tranquility,
The armchair Astronaut.
