lyrics

i can't feel the ground
as the houses drift by
i can't hear the voices through the glass
but i still try

the streetlights reflect on my windows, i move slow
rely on the engine's fiery glow
the atmosphere burns, but i'm more concerned with
the towns and the playgrounds behind

i'd prefer to be here
with my radio on
i'd prefer to be here
and stay 'till the colors are gone

i'm an astronaut in a sky of red stars
check the map, tell me where we are
check the mirrors, let my fears drift away
watch the distant hills of the garden state

our language is prettier typed
in an easy to read font
the words will remain on an old, dusty server
long after the roads are gone
out past the sun, past the warm, familiar light
the signals we broadcast are faster than starships
and carry the songs we write

i'd prefer to be here
with the dying crimson stars
i'd prefer to be here
and watch the supernova from my car

i'm a human in a metal avatar
look around, tell me who we are
we built everything of which we could conceive
why do we always wanna leave?

i'm an astronaut in a sky of red stars
check the map, tell me where we are
check the mirrors, let my fears drift away
watch the distant hills of the garden state

i'm an astronaut in a sky of red stars
check the map, tell me where we are
check the mirrors, let my fears drift away
watch the distant hills of the garden state
