Backstory:

This song is about escaping from the humdrum of real life via a hobby, in my case astronomy.                                                                                                       

Lyrics:

                                                  
THROUGH THE DARKNESS

Verse 1

I get up each day at the crack of dawn
I have a quick shower, put my best clothes on
Have coffee and toast, it's the same every day
Then I dream of the stars in the Milky Way

Pre-chorus

Then I drift up into space

Chorus

Starman, hear me now
Take me by the hand
Lead me through the darkness
To a distant land

Verse 2

I go out to work, always catch the train
I stand all the way there and back again
When I get the job done and I'm back at home
I venture out to my astrodome

Pre-chorus

Then I drift up into space

Chorus

Starman, hear me now
Take me by the hand
Lead me through the darkness
To a distant land

Bridge

I must escape when the chance comes around
Put my head in the air, take my feet off the ground
Leave the world that I know with its hate and its crime
When I look through my scope I can go back in time

Verse 3

I put on TV, watch the same old stuff
Quizzes, news and soaps till I've had enough
Some reality show that I can't abide
But then the skies clear and I go outside

Pre-chorus

Then I drift up into space
Leave behind the human race

Chorus

Starman, hear me now
Take me by the hand
Lead me through the darkness
To a distant land

Repeat Chorus with counterpoint

(counterpoint lyric:

Starman listen
Help me steer
Starman guide me
Away from here)
