what is there
for the astronaut
to fall
back on
(guest spots on a children's show
signing autographs on
8 X 10 glossy photographs
of a younger man
in a white suit
holding a helmet
ready to die)
I couldn't get close enough
I couldn't get far enough
away
(and all the stars
were reflections of your eyes
in mirrors so aligned
that I could never escape
those diamond mines I
smashed myself against
trying to pull you out
of the coal fields
in the cold sky)
I couldn't find a way
I couldn't get away
for the astronaut
to fall
back on
(guest spots on a children's show
signing autographs on
8 X 10 glossy photographs
of a younger man
in a white suit
holding a helmet
ready to die)
I couldn't get close enough
I couldn't get far enough
away
(and all the stars
were reflections of your eyes
in mirrors so aligned
that I could never escape
those diamond mines I
smashed myself against
trying to pull you out
of the coal fields
in the cold sky)
I couldn't find a way
I couldn't get away
really really needs editing/expanding but...for now, we toast
