When I was young I told my mum gonna walk on the moon someday
Armstrong and Aldrin spoke to me through Houston and Cape Kennedy
and I watched the Eagle landing on a night when the moon was full
and as it tugged at the tides I knew that deep inside I too could feel
$
its pull
I lie in my bed and dreamed I walked on the sea of tranquillity
I knew that someday soon we'd all sail to the moon on the high tide of
technology
but the dreams had all been taken and the window seats taken too
and two thousand & one has almost come and gone what am I supposed to do?
:
now that the space race is over its been and its gone and I'll never get
to the moon
now that the space race is over and I can't help but feel that we've all
$
grown up too soon
now my dreams have all been shattered and my wings are tattered too
and I can still fly but not half as high as once I wanted to
now that the space race is over its been and its gone and I'll never get
to the moon
now that the space race is over and I can't help but think that we've all
$
grown up too soon
my son and I stand beneath the great night sky and we gaze up in wonder
I tell him the tale of apollo and he says yeah but why did they ever go?
It may look like some empty gesture to go all that was just to come
back
but don't offer me a place out in cyber space coz where in the hell's
that at?
now that the space race is over its been and its gone and I'll never get
out of my room
now that the space race is over and I can't help but think that we're all
just going nowhere
