Harry Chapin - Star Tripper Lyrics
I have made a little music in some corners of the landI have fused some crystal images from common grains of sandAnd if I haven't reached the heavens, I've surely learned to flyI've been caught up in the soaring and the touching of the skyBut the startripper's coming on back home nowIt's a crazy blind man's journey he's been onThe startripper's lost and all alone nowAnd it's your face he'd like to look uponYes, he's praying that you won't be long goneThey put you in a capsule, they send you towards the sunThey carve you into plastic before you orbit's doneAnd all the scribes and seers they chorus out your nameThough the photographs and headlines change the story stays the sameSo the startripper's coming on back home nowIt's a crazy blind man's journey he's been onThe startripper's lost and all alone nowAnd it's your face he'd like to look uponYes, he's praying that you won't be long goneI thought that I was soaring like an eagleI thought that I was roaring like the windI thought that I had surely reached the end nowBut I can't remember anywhere I've beenWas I looking for a star or something else behind it?Whatever I was looking for, I surely dod not find itAnd for all my sky high journeys the only thing I knowIs that you almost always lose yourself when you let yourself goSo the startripper's coming on back home nowIt's a crazy blind man's journey he's been onThe startripper's lost and all alone nowAnd it's your face he'd like to look uponYes, he's praying that you won't be long gone
