LYRICS

Nerdy kid at school with astral thoughts.
Wanted to be an astronaut so I could be alone in space.
Get away.
Dreamt of Kepler-22b.
That’s the place for me.

Didn’t get the grades to be a NASA astronaut.
Couldn’t knuckle down or focus on my schoolwork.
I became a ghetto engineer making shit out of glass to refract the light from distant stars.
Then I built a telescope.
So big.
Pointed it at Kepler-22b.
That’s the place for me.

Good for ya
Obsession is good for ya
Good for ya
Obsession is good for ya

Can you guess the first thing I seen on Kepler-22b?
A telescope pointing back at me.
On Kepler-22b.
A telescope pointing back at me.
On Kepler-22b.
A telescope pointing back at me.

Good for ya
Obsession is good for ya
Good for ya
Obsession is good for ya
Good for ya
Obsession is good for ya
Good for ya
Obsession is good for ya
