Lyrics
Spaceship
-by Joe Rathburn
Feels like I'm talkin' to a wall
Not getting anywhere at all
Trying to convince myself
To adopt a better way of
Dealing with the world
I'm having trouble dealing with the world
Each day I see more pain and grief
I run careening for relief
Nowhere to go, no place to hide
Don't know why it has to tear me up inside
But you know it really tears me up inside
Chorus:
But if I had a spaceship
With a billion watt P.A.
About the size of China
I would fly up higher and higher
Till I could see
The earth and all it's people
Then I'd say, (then I'd say)
Then I'd say, (then I'd say)
Then I'd say, hmm
Wonder what I'd say?
Some folks relinquish all control
Just stick there heads into a hole
Thinking if they ignore it long enough
All the ugly stuff, will just up and go away
But you know, it doesn't up and go away
But if ignorance is bliss
Then bliss is just the thing I miss
Knowing what I know
Hearing what I hear
Seeing what I see
You know I think this life might be killing me
Funny how life could be killing me
Chorus:
But if I had a spaceship
With a billion watt P.A.
About the size of China
I would fly up higher and higher
Till I could see
The earth and all it's people
Then I'd say, (then I'd say)
Then I'd say, (then I'd say)
Then I'd say,
O still don't know what I'd say?
Bridge:
I'd probably check my notes
Clear my throat
Shuffle pages
Take one big breath and say:
"Testing 1, 2, 3..."
Then I'd shut it down
Turn around
Fly back to earth
And when I met the press I'd say:
"So who appointed me?
Who anointed me?
Who appointed me?"
I guess the best thing I can do
Is just to keep on muddlin' through
Trying to convince myself
To adopt a better way
Of dealing with the world
"Hey look at me, ma
I'm dealing with the world"
Because, life's a blessing and not a curse
So I'll try to never make it worse
For anyone, or anything
This could be the beginning of a brand new day
Mmm the beginning of a brand new day
Chorus:
Now if I had that spaceship
And that billion watt P.A.
About the size of China
I would fly up higher and higher
Till I could see
The earth and all it's people
Then I'd say, (then I'd say)
Then I'd say, (then I'd say)
Then I'd say,
I hope you all do good today!
