Change your eyes, your shoes, your hair
Be an island, I don't care
Not depending on what others think

Change your plans, your style, your flair
I'd know you anywhere
Not depending on what others think
Insist the world just isn't round
It's any shape you want to make it

And I wonder what it's like
To be the first in space
I wonder what it's like
To be inside your head
Behind your face
I wonder what it's like believing
Everything I say is true
Beyond a shadow of a doubt
To have the whole thing figured out
I wonder what it's like
I wonder what it's like

Forces of the main disaster
The phone rings it's the sweet hereafter now
I wonder what the others say
We might find an old discussion
Banished from the room while fools rush in
I wonder what it's like
Believe that it's been all sown up
In waves of greedy inspiration

And I wonder what it's like
To be the first in space
I wonder what it's like
To be inside your head
Behind your face
I wonder what it's like believing
Everything I say is true
Beyond a shadow of a doubt
To have the whole thing figured out
I wonder what it's like
I wonder what it's like

Emotional ketchup burst
Step right up, you can be there first
First in line at those pearly gates
Change your eyes, the world, your hair
Darling I'd know you anywhere
Not depending on what others think

And I wonder what it's like
To be the first in space
I wonder what it's like
To be inside your head
Behind your face
I wonder what it's like believing
Everything I say is true
Beyond a shadow of a doubt
To have the whole thing figured out
I wonder what it's like
I wonder what it's like

And I wonder what it's like, and I wonder
I wonder what it's like, and I wonder
I wonder what it's like, and I wonder
I wonder what it's like
