Lyrics
Stranded out in the cosmos
Just an ancient astronaut, floating through the galaxy, flying solo
Voted “Hottest Astronaut Alive”
By the people at People Magazine in Nineteen-Ninety mother fucking Five
So, goodbye, my big blue shining star
I’m gonna miss you a lot
I’m your Teen Beat Cosmonaut
Left here in an obsolete machine
When NASA lost its funding from the Congress, they forgot about Little Old Steve
And now there’s no fuel to get home
But all these dirty little girls keep sending dirty little pictures and videos
So, goodbye, my big blue shining star
I’m gonna miss you a lot
I’m your Teen Beat Cosmonaut
So, goodbye, my big blue shining star
I’m gonna miss you a lot
I’m your Teen Beat Cosmonaut
Godspeed
