| 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 |
