Star Tripper

I have made a little music in some corners of the land
 I have fused some crystal images from common grains of sand
 If I haven't reached the heavens, I've surely learned to fly
 I've been caught up in the soaring and the touching of the sky
 But the star tripper's coming on back home now
 It's a crazy blind man's journey, he's been on
 The star tripper's lost and all alone now
 And it's your face he'd like to look upon
 Yes, he's praying that you won't be long gone
 They put you in a capsule, they send you towards the sun
 They carve you into plastic before your orbit's done
 And all the scribes and seers they chorus out your name
 Though the photographs and headlines change, the story stays the same
 So the star tripper's coming on back home now
 It's a crazy blind man's journey, he's been on
 The star tripper's lost and all alone now
 And it's your face he'd like to look upon
 Yes, he's praying that you won't be long gone
 I thought that I was soaring like an eagle
 I thought that I was roaring like the wind
 I thought that I had surely reached the end now
 But I can't remember anywhere I've been
 Was I looking for a star or something else behind it?
 Whatever I was looking for, I surely did not find it
 And for all my sky high journeys the only thing I know
 Is that you almost always lose yourself when you let yourself go
 So the star tripper's coming on back home now
 It's a crazy blind man's journey, he's been on
 The star tripper's lost and all alone now
 And it's your face he'd like to look upon
 Yes, he's praying that you won't be long gone
