----------

Regarding lyrics, just a few points:

A - It's an homage to David Bowie's Space Oddity.
B - 'Lady Blue' is a deliberately ambiguous expression: It may refer to the Earth (the blue planet), sadness, or a woman.
C - 'Crocodile astronaut' alludes to the saying "crocodile tears", to express astronaut's feelings: He's now unconcerned, but he's been "crying" before.
D - Final sentences ('These are the last things; they disappear one by one and never come back') refer to a writing by Anna Blume, the main character of Paul Aster's novel 'In the Country of Last Things' (1987).

-----------------

En cuanto a la letra, brevemente:

A - Es un homenaje a Space Oddity, de David Bowie.
B - 'Lady Blue' es una expresión intencionalmente ambigua. Puede referirse a la Tierra (el planeta azul), a la tristeza ('blue' también significa tristeza en inglés), o a una mujer.
C - 'Cocodrilo astronauta' alude al dicho "lágrimas de cocodrilo", para expresar los sentimientos del astronauta: está despreocupado, a pesar de haber "llorado" de pena anteriormente.
D - Las frases finales ('Estas son las últimas cosas; desaparecen una a una y no vuelven jamás') se refieren a un escrito de Anna Blume, la protagonista de la novela 'El país de las últimas cosas' (1987), de Paul Auster.
