lyrics

Alchemist, Alchemist
Please turn my lead heart to gold
Make all my organs a
Glittering sight to behold
But I wanna leave something for show
When they draw out my soul through my nose
Put it in a jar

Rocketman, Rocketman
Take me to work when you go
Promise to only bring questions whose
Answers you know
I know that it's cold and it's far
But I wanna get close to a star
It's so hard, here in a jar

Lover discover we're
Deep in the future it seems
The circles are real but the
Lines just exist in our dreams
These days I just can't see the sky
But it's clean and it's warm and it's dry
So please, leave my trapdoor ajar
So I can feel the moon and the sun and the stars
It's just a breath of my little lead heart
Here in a jar
