Matthew Good - Last Of The Ghetto Astronauts

Demo: 15 Hours on a September Thursday, 1994

It gets dark around here early
Sometimes the moon it'll 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
So we're going to burn down the night
I want to 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 tonight

And I ain't laughing
And I ain't joking anymore
I keep my footsteps near the ground
I keep my eyes glued to the floor
And somewhere in between
Only the starlets 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 got it backwards in your head
The last of the ghetto astronauts to be ignored
Said I'm going to go where no one has gone before
Said I'm going to go where no one has gone before

It gets dark around here early
Sometimes there is more to the moon than 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 want to be misunderstood
We'll be sleeping on the pavement
Thinking everything's all right
Waiting for tomorrow
To get us through tonight

And I ain't laughing
And I ain't joking anymore
I keep my footsteps near the ground
I keep my eyes glued to the floor
And somewhere in between
Only the starlets dream on this side of midnight

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 would want to put you back together again
Together again, together again, together again

Maybe we're just crazy
Maybe we're better off dead
Maybe things will never change
Maybe you got it backwards in your head
The last of the ghetto astronauts to be ignored
Said I'm going to go where no one has gone before
Said I'm going to go where no one has gone before
No one, no one
Mmhmm yeah

I wish I had a higher quality version of this

[MatthewGoodRox]

@rogelead I forgot to tell you, I have higher quality songs than the ones I posted on youtube. I acquired them after posting the songs, so if you need one of better quality just ask.

@KRoozy2111 Actually, Vancouver and Avalanche are both amazing albums. A few of my favourites off of them are "While We Were Hunting Rabbits" "Avalanche" "Volcanoes" and it's a tie between "Empty's Theme Park" and "The Vancouver National Anthem" I heavily recommend you check them out if you haven't already.
