lyrics

Go! Taikonauts Go! 太空人

Taikonauts
Float into space,
With heavenly cranes, to hoist you up
Don't hold your breath,
For gravity
suspends your doubts,
Where the air is so thin
So don't look down

Taikonauts,
Like Yang Liwei
Your very mouth,
the Wan Hu craves
your maiden flight,
Into the dark
Suspends your doubts,
So apocryphal
Like the bait on a hook

Go! Taikonauts Go!

Go! Taikonauts Go!
The emptiness
Pacific blue, an aetheist
You're living life until the dark.
Suspend your doubts.
The apocryphal worm on a hook!

(So don't look down)
Go! Taikonauts Go!
Go, Taikonauts!
