I have never been a space cadet,
Been always high on my childhood dreams.
We take delight in watching the birds fly:
They ain't caged in haunting memories like we are.
You say you're too afraid to fall in love again,
And I guess I know the reason why.
Any love has its inescapable end,
Having gotten us into a mell of a hess,
Like being crashed out and empty after the session.
The wrong painkillers get us right here,
And we're looking anew for Colombian gold.
A good up high - and we forget to forget
That we are bored to tears streaming down our pale cheeks.
