The Astronaut (A Flash of Light)

The Astronaut In a Honda On the 5 to LA With the New Year Just some hours away I turn to my left and try To capture your smile As headlights are dancing round Just like fireflies In a soft tone You are starting to sing To a record That you told me to bring We listen to awkward rhymes For mile after mile The world's flying by outside As a flash of light A flash of light, a flash of light From all the cars and exit-signs The cars and exit-signs A flash of light, a flash of light When our shadows collide Scatter all around In a Motel On a bed, as we rest, You examine Every hair on my chest You ask me to turn around And not close my eyes My muscles betray me now When I try to find A flash of light, a flash of light A tiny motion in your eyes A motion in your eyes A flash of light, a flash of light When our shadows break out Crash into the night A flash of light, a flash of light An open crack in every cloud A crack in every cloud I'm paralyzed, I'm paralyzed When our shadows unite Stretched before our eyes
