Your Heart Breaks - Godspeed John Glenn

original text at lyrnow.com/1995304
There’s these things I want to learn about
Like rocket ships and pirate radio
And there’s these things I want to reinvent
Like childhood and hi-fi stereo

And all of us from broken homes
We stay kids just too damn long
It’s like we can’t get over
Busted toys and burned-out cars on the front lawn

“Mercury-Atlas flight zone. All recorders to fast t-minus 18 seconds and counting engine starts. Good lord ride all the way. It’s godspeed, John Glenn. 10… 9… 8… 7… 6… 5… 4… 3… 2… 1… All systems are go
Seven, this is Cape, do you read, over
Roger, Friendship 7, loud and clear
Friendship 7, a real fireball outside.”

All of us from broken homes
We stay kids just too damn long
It’s like we can’t get over
Busted toys and burned-out cars on the front lawn
