keep me alive
point me away from you
and hope I arrive
put up a monument
remember my name
will you shine up my memory
when it's all that remains
{chorus}
build me a castle
and throw a parade
put my name in stone
so the words don't fade
start a religion
and name it for me
build me a city
and give me the key
I'm king for a day
I can do no wrong
I'm king for a day
'till the next one comes along
heros are wonderful
I'm first to admit
but out here past the sun
that doesn't help me a bit
when you wake up tomorrow
I'll be light years away
But you'll find some other hero
to be kind for a day
{repeat chorus}

I won't wake up
cold sleepin' in zero-g
there's nothin' else here that I can see
I get this feeling that I'm not alone
It's in the air, I feel it in my bones
{chorus}
Oh I won't wake up
And I won't turn around
I won't open my eyes
And I won't make a sound
Don't make a sound

there's nothin' else here, the instruments say
If I don't open my eyes will it go away
Oh, I won't wake up
There's nothin' out here, that's what they all say
if I don't open my eyes, will it go away
{repeat chorus}
I won't wake up
