Rocket Fuel

Maneuvers in the pitch dark
to define the brilliant spark
say you love this one too
say what you mean to do
with the contents of me
lay your intentions down on me
baby I got faith
you can be the rocket fuel
in my heart

The man who sailed 'round his soul
he sends me picture postcards
inspiration for my magnetic pull
to tug at all the girls' hearts
Ah now,
that would be the remedy
to the vacuum of livin' lonely
oh that should really be
the redemption song to sing

The strangest, saddest arc
it's called my life stuck in park
so say you hate this one too
say what you thought you knew
the imprint of happiness
tell me you'll lift from this mess
honey I've got faith
you can be the rocket fuel
in my life

The Man who invented the heart
slips into a dreamy coma
and I then awake with a start
to point my feet toward Tacoma
Ah now
here comes my life's comedy
laugh along to the sound of tragedy
oh but you should be
the one to rescue me
Ah now,
sweet nectar of ecstasy
upon wings of recklessness
things you lift out of this mess
hey now I've got the faith
you gotta be the rocket fuel
in my life
and my heart
and oh somewhere I thought I saw an unreal spark...

I love this and Ethern is right. This could be a hit song.
I liked "My life is stuck in park" along with alot of other lines. A fun read.
