Matthew Good Band – The Last Of The Ghetto Astronauts lyrics

It gets dark around here early
Sometimes the moon will follow you in the middle of the day
Waiting to be found, we were just standing around
With nothing really much to say

I didn't know any better
You didn't think that we should
Said we're gonna burn down the night
I wanna be misunderstood
All four wheels across the pavement
We used to live in black and white
I only think about tomorrow so it'll get me through the night

CHORUS
And I ain't laughing and I ain't joking anymore
I keep my footsteps to the ground
I keep my eyes glued to the floor
Somewhere in between only the stunners dream on this side of midnight

And maybe we're just crazy
Maybe we're better off dead
Maybe things will never change
Maybe you've got it backwards in your head
The Last of the Ghetto Astronauts won't be ignored
Said I'm gonna go where no one has gone before
Said I'm gonna go where no one has gone before

It gets dark around here early
Sometimes there's more to the moon then just one man can see
The voice without a name cries silent just the same, just the same way
If I didn't know any better I'd say that maybe we all should
When the morning comes around
Don't wanna be misunderstood
Sleeping on the pavement thinking everything's all right
Waiting for tomorrow to get us through tonight

CHORUS

Been walking with the giants
Been sleeping in a town without a name
Been holding on to your arms and legs
Your arms and legs cause
Nobody here wants to put you back together again
Together again, together again, together again

And maybe we're just crazy
Maybe we're better off dead
Maybe things will never change
Maybe you've got it backwards in your head
The Last of the Ghetto Astronauts won't be ignored
Said I'm gonna go where no one has gone before
Said I'm gonna go where no one has gone before
No one, no one
