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
