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
