Lyrics
Shooting The Moon
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.
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
