Christmas Special: (Just Like An) Astronaut (In Space on Christmas)

I heard a cover of "Space Oddity" and thought, that would make a good Christmas song.


I feel marooned 
As far away as the moon
I don't know how I got myself in this mess
Out of my window
I see the earth's bluish glow
I'm like an astronaut in space on Christmas

On my space phone
I try to call home
Pleading pull me from this seclusion
Help me Houston

I float effortlessly
Suspended in zero-G 
As if there were no center with us
Just like an astronaut in space on Christmas



Alone and unloved
Though they say I have the Right Stuff
I feel a sadness that I cannot dísmiss
In my tin playpen
Abandoned son of John Glenn
I'm like an astronaut in space on Christmas

Can I reverse
Come back to earth 
Free myself from inside this capsule?
Help me NASA

Like a misanthrope
Peering through his telescope
At all this Christmas celebration business
I'm like an astronaut in space on Christmas.
