Forgotten Astronaut
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.
We’re high above the tranquil sea
I take a big deep breath and set the Eagle free
I know, what I know and I know it’s all up to me
But, I feel what I feel and I feel the history
Over two hundred thousand miles home
If the Eagle fails, I go back alone
I know, what I know and I know it’s all up to me
But, I feel what I feel and yeah, I feel the history
They got names like superheroes, bigger than The Beatles or I could ever be
They got all the great one-liners, written in the schoolbooks for all eternity
They’re bouncing up and down in the tranquil sea
Three hundred million girls watch on TV
I know, what I know and I know its just jealousy
But, I feel what I feel and I feel it endlessly
They got names like superheroes, bigger than The Beatles or I could ever be
They got all the great one-liners, written in the schoolbooks for all eternity
We are waiting for connection, trans-Earth injection, three thousand degrees, yes
Splashdown, North Pacific Ocean
Soon we will be home where Hornet waits for three, yeah
I know what I know, as my parachutes released
Like peppermint candy we float in a blue-sky dream
Like Starlite Mints we move through the cotton sky
And the arms of the ocean are stretched out; open wide
Yeah, they got all the great one-liners, written in the schoolbooks for all eternity
They got names like superheroes, bigger than The Beatles or I could ever be
And now I’ve all but been forgotten, Forgotten Astronaut has been lost to history, yeah
