"We were first to the moon," (Moon to Houston we're doomed!) "Get the president… On the phone
There's a note signed " The Man" It appears that his planning was imminent— We're alone It reads:
'Venus, I'm so sorry Oh Venus, I'm so sorry' It reads: 'Venus, I'm so sorry,
But the sign on the spaceship, it brought me to this As I step to the edge and I sign with a kiss
It said 'Let our nation rise' I'm a victim to prose in that… Send my love to the spoon and cat It said 'Let our nation rise' Here's to you, here's to solitaire Here's to star-fishing in the air
Goodbye'"
Breaking news, this just in: Let the ice age begin! Let it all fall down! (It all falls down)
"An ingenious plan," Said the newspaper man Break America To the sun
But between us, I'm so sorry Oh between us, I'm so sorry Just between us, I'm so sorry
But the God we confide in, Salute, and command Is a cowboy it seems, With a gun in his hand Saying,
"Let our nation rise!" I'm a victim to prose in that, Send my love to the spoon and cat Saying "let our nation rise!" Here's to you, here's to solitaire, Here's to star-fishing in the air
Goodbye
