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
