I used to draw pictures of spaceships in class
wanted to be an astronaut, but I was bad at math
watching the jetsons on morning TV
flight of the navigator and apollo 3
so I went to the space museum
and climbed up in the model ship
to sit there all alone and contemplate my trip
and that's when I first saw you sitting in the pilot's seat
eating freeze dried ice cream
so I chased you 'til you gave in and held my hand
you wanted to be an astronaut, too
and together we were weightless
took the universe in stride
when you say: lets get some ice cream,
I say only if it's freeze-dried,
we spent our days eating milky ways for breakfast
and moon pies for lunch
shooting stars with bows and arrows
firing bottle rockets, too
we were astronauts, me and you

and I won't miss my brother, I won't miss my friends
but maybe all of them can come and visit...
