We Are in Space is the 11th track on Joe Hawley's solo album, Joe Hawley Joe Hawley. This song was written by Ryan Brady. Joe, along with Amanda Jayne, refined it a bit for recording.^{[citation needed]}

Composition

The song is primarily a list of objects, ideas, and events, stating they are "made of stars". Several times the lyric "we are in space" is said. This is referring to the fact that, as inhabitants of Earth, we are in space, for the planet Earth is in space.

Trivia

• Similarly to White Rabbit, the track is not available in the Bandcamp version due to copyright concerns. It is available on streaming however, unlike White Rabbit.
• This song has had the most legal issues, being one of the few songs that Joe would actively hunt down and take down uploads of.^{[citation needed]} As of now however, Joe seems to either not pay attention to it or not care about uploads of it.
• This is the second song Joe has written that references things being "made of stars", the other being Spring and a Storm.
• Friend of the band Matthew Altruda, inspired by this song, created a podcast of the same name.

Lyrics

(So, uhh, this is space.)
(What are we doing here?)

The watch on the end of your wrist
(Made of stars, made of stars)
Keeps time that ceased to exist
(Made of stars, made of stars)
The tingling in your hands
(Made of stars, made of stars)
That voice making demands
(Made of stars, made of stars)

WE ARE IN SPACE
(We are in space)
WE ARE IN SPACE
(We're in space.)

The oil in your car
(Made of stars, made of stars)
Your drink upon the bar
(Made of stars, made of stars)
The lines writing in your face
(Made of stars, made of stars)
The red giants way out in space
(Made of stars, made of stars)

WE ARE IN SPACE
(We are in space)
WE ARE IN SPACE
(I'm telling you, man)
(The saxophone)

[Saxophone Solo]
Alright, that's enough.
I SAID THAT'S ENOUGH!

The silkiness of your sheets
(Made of stars, made of stars)
The AstroTurf under your cleats
(Made of stars, made of stars)
The Tricentennial Man
(Made of stars, made of stars)
All your hopes and plans
(Made of stars, made of stars)

WE ARE IN SPACE
(I'm telling you, man)
WE ARE IN SPACE
(We're in space.)

The water in your bath
The water in your carafe
The water in the chaff
The water broken in your better half
The water at the bottom of the ocean
The water causing great commotion
The water fuels the human race

WE ARE IN SPACE
(We are in space)
WE ARE IN SPACE
(You're in space.)

The faces of your mind
(Made of stars, made of stars)
The phantom left behind
(Made of stars, made of stars)
The quiet thrill you face
(Made of stars, made of stars)
When you escape this escapeless place
(Made of stars, made of stars)

WE ARE IN SPACE
(We are in space)
(We are in space)
(We are in space)
(We are in space)
