I wish I could float away like Major Tom
Drift across the universe on some astral plane
Looking back I sometimes wish that I'd played along
Look at all the time we wasted playing games
Go Home
I wanna go home
Sitting on a park bench by the motorway
The gravel sprayed by passing cars takes my breath away
And I think of you
And what you'd say
I wish that I'd found nirvana like Major Tom
Drifting, falling, spinning - right through the sun
Looking back my life was like a nursery crime
But I know I went too far that time
Go Home
I wanna go home
The bad times and the good times seem the same to me
You showed me to the door but I forgot the key
And I think of you
Do you think of me?
Every time I think of you I want to go home.
