Nasa Clapping

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Who's gone and been a greedy boy?Me!

I've gone and eaten what I love -- You!

I've stuffed the rats' tails in the black slot provided in the letterbox

Buzz Aldrin took me by the arm

And said one day that I'd be rich

I think he meant that I was gonna be your lover in his lifetime

And I thought I heard, I thought I heard NASA clapping

And I thought I heard, I thought I heard NASA clapping

There'll be a golf course on the moon

And we can sleep in lava tubes

And we can bask in solar winds

And lunar flares will do you nicely(Nicely)

And there'll be cows and there'll be jails

And sewage to comfort the vegetables

As we contaminate the sky the moon becomes a shrieking skull

But I thought I heard, I thought I heard NASA clapping

I thought I heard, I thought I heard NASA clapping

The universe is made of bees

And they're all buzzing round your chart

If you would penetrate the bees, you've got to number them politely

Oh, yes

And I thought I heard, I thought I heard NASA clapping

I thought I heard, I thought I heard NASA clapping

I thought I heard, I thought I heard NASA clapping

Buzz buzz
