I was the first man in space on my street I had to leave my wife and kids behind It was a chance I could not pass up on It was the journey of a lifetime I threw away my packing up as they were waving me bye bye Sometimes all I need is the air that I breathe And the air that I breathe is so thin I get high And I'm floating like God in his heaven High in the stratosphere Darling come quick you can see our house from here Seen some burn up on re-entry Bones that have crumbled to dust It was rough but I kept it together But now I'm finding it hard to adjust How you're supposed to open these new milk cartons? Why don't they make Golden Nuggets no more? Where was the ticker tape civic reception? How come no-one wants to know what I saw? How come no-one wants to know what I saw? How come no-one wants to know what I saw? How come no-one wants to know what I saw? How come no-one wants to know? And I'm floating like God in his heaven High in the stratosphere Darling come quick you can see our house from here And I'm floating like God in his heaven High in the stratosphere Darling come quick you can see our house from here Lumps of rock Alien lifeforms Parties with no atmosphere Space is cold Home is colder When you come home at night and there's nobody here When you come home at night and there's nobody here When you come home at night and there's nobody here When you come home at night and there's nobody here And there's nobody here And there's nobody here And there's nobody here And I'm floating like God in his heaven High in the stratosphere Darling come quick you can see our house from here And I'm floating like God in his heaven And I'm floating like God in his heaven And I'm floating like God in his heaven And I'm floating like God in his heaven And I'm floating like God in his heaven And I'm floating like God in his heaven And I'm floating like God in his heaven And I'm floating like God in his heaven And I'm floating like God in his heaven And I'm floating like God in his heaven And I'm floating like God in his heaven And I'm floating like God in his heaven
