Be An Astronaut

Daniel, do you remember?
You were in such a state
The boys that wait
Outside your house
I’ve got your number
And I’m not afraid to use it

They’ll probably give it up to anyone they see, including me
They’ll probably make up your mind as if you want them to

Oh you
Those boys tell you what to do all the time
On and later on you said I could be just what I want
And they said stop lying
You were born to be an astronaut
And you’ll do that or die tryin’
What a way to live and die

And you wonder why
Boys will cry
Boys will be boys
Don’t you listen?
Do as their mothers tell them

If you know what’s good for you
Behave yourself this time, for me
If you know what’s good for you
Don’t lay around complaining all day

Oh my
The boys that wait along the line, and they’re not crying
On and later on they will tell you what went wrong
And they’ll say stop lying
And you were born to be an astronaut
And you’ll do that or die trying
There’d be nothing wrong with it
Huh-Huh

Oh you waste your time!
Come waste mine!

Oh my
The boys that wait along the line, and they’re not crying
On and later on you will tell them what went wrong
And they’ll say you’re lying
Well you were born an astronaut
And you’ll do that or die trying
There’d be nothing wrong with it
