Shooting the Moon

All of the Astronauts -Champagne in plastic cups
waiting for the big hero to show -outside the door he stands
his head in his hands -and his heart in his throat
What can he tell 'em now ?-Sorry I let you down
Sorry it wasn't quite true -But don't get hung up on it
Just soldier on with it -Good luck with shooting the moon
Shooting the moon -Shooting the moon -the moon Shooting the moon
All of the principals -generals admirals
and the podium lit with the spotlight -crowd buzzes quietly waiting expectantly
like it's opening night
What can he tell 'em now?-Sorry I let you down
Sorry it wasn't quite true -But don't get hung up on it
Just soldier on with it -Good luck with shooting the moon
Shooting the moon - Shooting the moon -the moon Shooting the moon
