Astroboy by Tony Vaughan

Astroboy

He does it for Rome but not for me
He does it for the sweetest boys and his Ricky
He does it for the sweetest poison I inject in me

Can't be tied down
When you're floating out in space
That star never really fell
It just took vacation for the weekend with me

I had twenty years to make up for that night
And you only provided the sex
You called me beautiful
I called you delusional
Now disappointment's settling in
Hey disappointment, where have you been?

Can't be tied down
When you're floating out in space
That star never really fell
It just took vacation for the weekend with me

Suddenly beautiful
Suddenly alive
Suddenly nervous
Then suddenly goodbye
Suddenly breaking down
Yeah, this is me
I have created this
So suddenly

Potential's passing through my hands like water
On the beach - car steam -
Why did you hold my hand?
To make it seem?
Why did you hold my hand-
To make it seem so much more
'Cause it was nothing to you

Can't be tied down
When you're floating - floating away
That star never really fell
Just took vacation for the weekend as me

Sullenly beautiful
Suddenly sad
Suddenly envious at all
I never had
You haven't called for three days
'Cause I said, "sex no more"
Will you still be my friend
Or is that suddenly a chore?

He does it for Rome but not for me
He does it for the sweetest boys and his Ricky
He does it for the sweetest poison I inject in me
My friend
