	作词 : Bragg
	When I was young I told my mum
	I'm going to walk on the Moon someday
	Armstrong and Aldrin spoke to me
	From Houston and Cape Kennedy
	And I watched the Eagle landing
	On a night when the Moon was full
	And as it tugged at the tides, I knew deep inside
	I too could feel its pull
	I lay in my bed and dreamed I walked
	On the Sea of Tranquillity
	I knew that someday soon we'd all sail to the moon
	On the high tide of technology
	But the dreams have all been taken
	And the window seats taken too
	And 2001 has almost come and gone
	What am I supposed to do?
	Now that the space race is over
	It's been and it's gone and I'll never get to the moon
	Because the space race is over
	And I can't help but feel we've all grown up too soon
	Now my dreams have all been shattered
	And my wings are tattered too
	And I can still fly but not half as high
	As once I wanted to
	Now that the space race is over
	It's been and it's gone and I'll never get to the moon
	Because the space race is over
	And I can't help but feel we've all grown up too soon
	My son and I stand beneath the great night sky
	And gaze up in wonder
	I tell him the tale of Apollo And he says
	"Why did they ever go?"
	It may look like some empty gesture
	To go all that way just to come back
	But don't offer me a place out in cyberspace
	Cos where in the hell's that at?
	Now that the space race is over
	It's been and it's gone and I'll never get out of my room
	Because the space race is over
	And I can't help but feel we're all just going nowhere
