All the astronauts Champagne and craftacups Waiting for the big hero to show Outside the door he's dead His head his hands And his heart is broke
What can he tell now Sorry I let you down Sorry it wasn't quite true But don't get hung on it Just solider on with it And good luck with the moon
Shooting the moon Shooting the moon The moon Shooting the moon
All of the principals Generals, admirals And the podium with the spotlight The crowd buzzes quietly Waiting expectantly Like it's opening
What can he tell them Sorry I let you down Sorry it wasn't quite true But don't get hung up on it solider on with it And good luck with shooting the moon
Shooting the moon Shooting moon The moon Shooting the moon
