lyrics
Lyrics
I put a rocket into space
Daddy, don't you wish you could have seen my face
And I shot a dragon through the sky
The way you talk me up must be a Gemini
My Johnny Gemini
Ask me if I slept at all last night I'll say no but I was dreaming
Wide awake
And believe me when I tell you that I never in my whole life saw a morning
Quite like today
'Cause I put a rocket into space
It's a fantasy I've always liked to entertain
Now I'm swimming naked around the sun
Hiding in plain sight from almost everyone
Except for you, honeybun
Now look what I've done
My secret's in some crystal ball confession room poured like dirty water
Down the drain
And when the saints go marching in all dressed in white with fire in hand
I won't be found
No, I will have escaped
'Cause I put a rocket into space
It might just be the last hope for this human race
Now I'm gonna blow it all for fun
Daddy don't you wish you knew how far I've come
"Of course, I still love you, Son"
I heard you say
"I love you just the same"
