Took a ride on a rocket ship.
There were angels at the door.
Was brought the cup so I took a sip.
I didn’t know what it had in store.

But that’s the way it happens.
Oh that’s what makes your heart bloom.
Even though you’re laughing,
We both know there’s not enough room.

You did a twirl, took another dip.
And I hit “repeat” for the same song.
You took a ride on a rocket ship.
I took a dive falling headlong.

And oh that’s the way it happens
Oh, that’s what makes your heart bloom.
Even though you’re laughing,

Send a message to someone I am opened wide.
I’ve found the answers to problems, but they’re locked up inside.
Send a message to someone. You know I can’t hide.
Your riding shotgun, but you’ve just come along for the ride.

And oh, that’s the way it happens
That’s what makes your heart bloom.
Even though you’re laughing,
We both know there’s not enough room.

And if I can’t go would that be okay?
Cause all the powers that be have followed your way.
And don’t you know, there’s a sign up ahead. Do not enter.
So I better turn this around because I will not enter.
v3
Took a ride on a rocket ship but the angel was not there.
