Be an Astronaut

Daniel, do you remember? You were in such a state The boys that wait outside your house Have got your number And are not afraid to use it They'll probably give it out To anyone they see, including me They'll probably make up your mind As if you want them to Oh, you (oh you) Those boys tell you what to do All the time On, and then later on You said I could be just what I wanted They said you're lying (lying) Well, you were born to be an astronaut And you'll do that or die trying What a way to live and die And you wonder why boys will cry Boys will be boys, they should listen Do as their mothers tell them If you know what's good for you Behave yourself this time for me If you know what's good for you Don't lay around complaining all day Oh my, the boys that wait are on the line And they're not crying On and later on, you will tell them what went wrong And they'll say you're lying (lying) But you were born to be an astronaut And you'll do that or die trying There'd be nothing wrong with it, oh Oh, you waste your time Come waste mine Oh my, the boys that wait are on the line And they're not crying On and later on, you will tell them what went wrong And they'll say you're lying But you were born an astronaut To do it or die trying There'd be nothing wrong with it, ah --- Be an Astronaut - Declan McKenna
