All of the astronauts

Champagne in plastic cups

Outside the door he stands

His head in his hands

and his heart in his throat.

What can he tell them now?

Just soldier on with it.

And good luck with shooting the moon.

All of the principals, Generals admirals

and the podium lit with the spotlight

The crowd buzzes quietly waiting expectantly
Dm D
like it's opening night

What can he tell them now?

Sorry I let you down

Sorry it wasn't quite true.

Just soldier on with it.
