Port Cities - Astronaut

Thanks to the Guthro, Mackinnon and Stone families for providing video footage. Edited by Jenni Welsh Lyrics: All I ever wanted to be was an astronaut Before this so-called life got in the way Eight miles high, I turn the light switch off And laugh at all the games I used to play I had a dream when I was seven Secret door at the back of heaven I woke up the second I walked in Over time the dream got old and faded Everything just gets so complicated I watched them send the rocket up in Florida And everybody cheered and waved goodbye I imagined it was me up in the captain's chair Leaving laws of gravity behind And now the weight is heavy on my shoulders Nine to five, I'm getting older Truth be told, it really ain't that bad Over time the dream got old and faded Everything just gets so complicated All I ever wanted to be was an astronaut I guess it's a little late for that right now I get up every morning just to punch the clock And take the number eighty bus cross town I try my best not to regret it Most of the time I just forget it Maybe another place, another time 'Cause after all the dream got old and faded Everything just gets so complicated All I ever wanted to be was an astronaut
