Moonwalker - Brasstronaut

I listen to the countdown

Slowly getting further

Slowly getting further away

And I can feel the moment

Slowly getting closer

Slowly getting closer now

And my work will not be done

'till I return

The shadows to the sun

Moonwalker

Leaving footprints in the grey dust

I contemplate the moment

I wonder if I might be cursed

This night or blessed

And I imagine that she’s sleeping

Far away and softly breathing

As the light pours down

From the curtains onto her skin

Then into sacred rivers fall

And from the minarets they call

Moonwalker Moonwalker Moonwalker

Not the same man

There on the ground

Fighting gravity is only bringing me down

So I think I’m gonna stay here

You can go on back without me

I’m gonna miss you

But I think it’s for the best

And now I’m signing off in space

Will they remember me this way?

Moonwalker Moonwalker Moonwalker

Moonwalker Moonwalker Moonwalker

Not the same man

There on the ground

Fighting gravity is only bringing me down
