lyrics

Everybody says the same thing when they’re radioing in
“What are you doing out there, what do you expert to win?
You gotta come back home now, drink our water, breathe our air
Turn that rocket ship around before it you hit the solar flare

Cuz you’re too close to the sun"

But I can’t hear a word they say
I’m two planets away
They can’t even see my phase
Never cared for their atmosphere
I like it better here
I like the shorter years
They think that I’m lost in space
But these are my pearly gates
I’m two planets away

And I know deep down that I’ll burn
I know deep down that I’ll burn
Yeah I’m gonna burn
Cuz I’m too close the sun

They don’t know the thrill of going where no man has gone before
So they can’t comprehend the compulsion to explore
They’re too far away to have ever really felt the heat
So they perceive my scalded skin as weak

They say I’m too close to the sun

But I can’t hear a word they say
I’m two planets away
They can’t even see my phase
Never cared for the atmosphere
I like it better here
I like the shorter years
They think that I’m lost in space
But these are my pearly gates
I’m two planets away

And I know deep down that I’ll burn
I know deep down I'm gonna burn
Yeah I’m gonna burn
