Space Man Lyrics
Starry night bring me down
'Til I realize the moon
It seems so distant yet I felt it pass
Right through
So I see what I see
A new world is over me
So I'll reach up to the sky
And pretend that I'm a
Spaceman, in another place and time
I guess I'm lookin' for a brand new
Place, is there a better life for me
Subtle wind blow me gone
Let me rest upon your move
I trust I'll end up sleeping
Cradled in my doom
So I feel what I feel
I can't grasp what is not real
So I'll get myself real high
And imagine I'm a
Spaceman, in another place and time
I guess I'm lookin' for a brand new
Place, is there a better life for me
I remember in my mind
They say I'm a daydreamin'
Is it all that It seems
Or am I all the things I'm looking for, yea
So I see what I see, A new world is over me
And I'll reach up to the sky
And pretend that I'm a spaceman
In another place and time
I guess I'm lookin' for a brand new place
I remember living in a different life
Is there a better life for me
'Til I realize the moon
It seems so distant yet I felt it pass
Right through
So I see what I see
A new world is over me
So I'll reach up to the sky
And pretend that I'm a
Spaceman, in another place and time
I guess I'm lookin' for a brand new
Place, is there a better life for me
Subtle wind blow me gone
Let me rest upon your move
I trust I'll end up sleeping
Cradled in my doom
So I feel what I feel
I can't grasp what is not real
So I'll get myself real high
And imagine I'm a
Spaceman, in another place and time
I guess I'm lookin' for a brand new
Place, is there a better life for me
I remember in my mind
They say I'm a daydreamin'
Is it all that It seems
Or am I all the things I'm looking for, yea
So I see what I see, A new world is over me
And I'll reach up to the sky
And pretend that I'm a spaceman
In another place and time
I guess I'm lookin' for a brand new place
I remember living in a different life
Is there a better life for me

Amazing track. Great for when contemplating your place in the universe, and understanding that there is more to life than our problems. Yearning for escape and knowing the place where you are really is a small speck.
This sounds like it is about drugs and escaping the madness of reality and replacing it with your own kind of madness..
Holy shit is this song good. Love the vocals. Doesn't get much better than this. Absolutely fantastic. Smoke 'em if you got 'em!
Linda Perry is amazing.
What a great album completely overlooked and absurdly underrated. Typical. Spaceman is one of those tracks that is capable of touching your inner despair with the everyday monotonous reality we all have to deal with. Escaping from life with stimulants of any kind is a basic essential of any normal person's functionality. Stimulants come in many forms from drugs and alcohol, to cigarettes, to prayer, physical activity, reading, video games, music, etc... Disconnecting from reality and putting your heart and soul in another state of mind is priceless. Like all things in life moderation is the key but nonetheless life can be overwhelming to say the least.
