She sings of colorful things Of storied far off places to block out a terrible scene Cause her mother she's a stunner And her brother's in a cloud of nicotine And her father's too scared to save her So she wipes away the tears on her onto sleeve But honey you, you are a rocketship You take me higher, higher, and higher Straight through, out of this atmosphere Higher, higher, and higher I'm standing with my mother And I'm Crying like a fool Torn between the light of day And the darkness of my room Oh and I scream it to my brothers You know that I love you Petrified with one wrong move I'll lose it all for good And I don't know Why I should Have all of this when none has gone to you You, you are a rocketship You take me higher, higher, and higher Straight through, out of this atmosphere Higher, higher, and higher
