Song lyrics

Your face ignites a fuse to my patience,
Whatever you do, it's gonna be wrong,
There's no time to interrupt the detonation,
Be good to me before you're gone.
When I met you, I was fine with my nothing,
I grew with you and now I've changed,
What I've become is something I can't be without your loving,
Be good to me, it isn't a game.

Now let me see, it's you and me, forgive, good God!
How do you suppose that we'll survive?
Come on, that's right, left, right,
Make lighter of all the heavier
'Cause you and I will be like a couple of cosmonauts,
Except with way more gravity than when we started off.
Oh, you and I will be like a couple of cosmonauts,
Except with way more gravity than when we started off.

When you resist me, hon', I cease to exist
Because I only like the way I look when looking through your eyes.
And when you come back,
You commemorate the penetration of the sun into the deep, dark sky.

Now let me see, it's you and me, forgive, good God!
How do you suppose that we'll survive?
Come on, that's right, left, right,
Make lighter of all the heavier
'Cause you and I will be like a couple of cosmonauts,
Except with way more gravity than when we started off.
Oh, you and I will be like a couple of cosmonauts,
Except with way more gravity than when we started off.

Start it, start it off, start it off,
Start it, start it off, start it off, baby!
Start it, start it off, start it off now,
Start it, start it off, start it off, baby!
Start it, start it off, start it, start it,
Start it, start it!

You and I will be like a couple of cosmonauts,
Except with way more gravity than when we started off.
Oh, you and I will be like a couple of cosmonauts,
Except with way more gravity than when we started off.

Start it, start it off, start it off,
Start it off, start it off, start it off, baby!
Start it off, start it off, start it off now,
Start it off, start it off, start it off, baby!
Start it off, start it off, start it, start it,
Start it, start it!
Start it off, start it off, start it off, baby!
Start it off, start it off, start it off now,
Start it off, start it off, start it off, baby!
Start it off, start it off, start, start, start, start!

Now we'll be like a couple of cosmonauts,
Except with way more gravity than when we started off.
Oh, you and I will be like a couple of cosmonauts,
Except with way more gravity than when we started off.
