The Last Cosmonaut - A Man Who Never Was Lyrics

When I look into your eyes
I get the the cold, shark stare of a man with everything
A man who never was
When you repeat your lies
I see a frightened child
Who never stopped shaking
Even when you were drinking it all way

You're so much calmer now
You're so confident!
Still afraid that you will never be

When I look into your mind
I see a man who cares
But cannot empathise with my despair
When you repeat your lines I hear a frightened child
Who never stopped shaking
Even when you were drinking it all way

You're so much older now
More dignified
Terrified that you will never be?
Now we're at the other end of the telescope
Standing on a beach waiting for the sea
Come take you and me

I can't believe my eyes!
Be thankful we're alive!
So many friends have gone so young
And we're still here year after year
The beers not real!
But nor are we!
And never were
What does matter in the end?
As long as we're still friends
