Cosmograf The Man Left In Space Lyrics

They told me that my mind would take me far
We used to share
A brilliant dream

The sudden rise to conquer was bizarre
If you were brave
What could have been

The girl I met is drinking in a bar
She's on her own
What does it mean

Maybe there's an answer on this screen
But am I screen
But am I screen

But spare a thought for the man they left in space
He lost the human race
He stretched too far
The man they left in space

But spare a thought for the man they left in space
He lost the human race
He stretched too far The man they left in space

You took a wrong turn
The easy route through
Too frightened to leave
The comfortable hue

The life of glory
All that you missed
All passed by can't
You won't take the risk

Making the grade
It's easy to do
But ambition failed
To ride in front of you

It started at school
They tested your mind
You failed to ignite
You got left behind

But spare a thought for the man you left in space
He lost the human race
He stretched too far
The man you left in space
