[Verse 1]
Mission control, mission control
I went lookin' through your telescope
Our love is everywhere
You put our picture in my locket
I look for our faces from this rocket
Oh, are you cryin' out loud?
[Chorus]
Honey I'm an astronaut
I can't give you what you want but I
I'll try, I'll try to be there when you call
Honey it's a long way home from outer space
[Verse 2]
Mission control, mission control
I went lookin' through your telelscope
Our love is everywhere
Galaxies await in this orbit
You could come along on my comet
Stars in our view
[Chorus]
Honey I'm an astronaut
I can't give you what you want but I
I'll try, I'll try to be there when you call
Honey it's a long way home from outer space
[Verse ]
And I can never predict the radio waves
Floodin' through the atmosphere
I know it's strange
And I can never forget where I've been
Baby, it's a long way home from space
[Outro]
It's a long way home from outer space
Honey, it's a long way home from outer space
