Biography:
Bad Astronaut was an experimental/punk band founded in 2000 by Joey Cape, singer from Lagwagon. In Bad Astronaut, Cape explores a new style of pop, with lyrics often about deep and intricate personal matters.
Following the suicide of drummer and longtime friend Derrick Plourde (who was also the original drummer for Lagwagon) in 2005, Bad Astronaut has disbanded. Their third and final full-length album, entitled Twelve Small Steps, One Giant Disappointment, was released in 2006 on Fat Wreck Chords.

Butter on a summer day, when she's around.

I was on the track when the gate came down.
A E
Certainly I recognized
F#m D
those blood-shot rear-view mirror eyes of mine.
B5 C#5 D Dm
I heard that whistle call my name.
F#5 G#5 A5 D5 A5 G#D5
I almost drove away, but Megan I
G5 F#5 B5
had a feeling that you would be on that train
D5 E5
so I just waited there for you
Another ride to another town where the air was clean
and the sun never goes down.
Everyone was standing in a line
between the landing and the stairs.
I heard somebody call my name
I almost climbed the stairs, but Megan I
had a feeling that someday you'd meet me there.
So I just waited there for you.

E5
Butter on a summer day when I hear that name
like a dream that never came true.
Sat down on the track and waited for a train
to take me back to you.
Somebody came and took my hand.
I finally had to go.
But Megan I just want you to know
that I waited as long as I could.
