It's Not Here, It's Out There

There's a fire in your eyes,
Like a comet through the skies.
But what are you doing here?
Why aren't you out there?

Are you just out of breath,
Coming down here to rest,
Did you travel a bit too far,
Or are just tired of dancing with the stars?
So what are you doing here?
'Cause I can't understand why,
Why you're here,
And not out there,
Out there in the atmosphere.
Where you truly belong.

But if you want to,
When I look at the stars tonight,
The only living soul in sight,
You can come down,
And join me on the ground,
Where we can have a night,
A night out on the town.
A quick fix for your frown.

But don't forget,
That you wear a celestial crown,
That you don't belong here,
That you belong out there,
Out there in the atmosphere.
