《The Space Race Is Over》歌词

[00:00:09] When I was young I told my mum

[00:00:15] I'm going to walk on the Moon someday

[00:00:19] Armstrong and Aldrin spoke to me

[00:00:23] From Houston and Cape Kennedy

[00:00:28] And I watched the Eagle landing

[00:00:32] On a night when the Moon was full

[00:00:37] And as it tugged at the tides, I knew deep inside

[00:00:42] I too could feel its pull

[00:00:57] I lay in my bed and dreamed I walked

[00:01:03] On the Sea of Tranquillity

[00:01:06] I knew that someday soon we'd all sail to the moon

[00:01:13] On the high tide of technology

[00:01:15] But the dreams have all been taken

[00:01:20] And the window seats taken too

[00:01:26] And 2001 has almost come and gone

[00:01:30] What am I supposed to do?

[00:01:35] Now that the space race is over

[00:01:38] It's been and it's gone and I'll never get to the moon

[00:01:45] Because the space race is over

[00:01:47] And I can't help but feel we've all grown up too soon

[00:02:13] Now my dreams have all been shattered

[00:02:18] And my wings are tattered too

[00:02:23] And I can still fly but not half as high

[00:02:28] As once I wanted to

[00:02:32] Now that the space race is over

[00:02:35] It's been and it's gone and I'll never get to the moon

[00:02:42] Because the space race is over

[00:02:44] And I can't help but feel we've all grown up too soon

[00:03:02] My son and I stand beneath the great night sky

[00:03:07] And gaze up in wonder

[00:03:11] I tell him the tale of Apollo And he says

[00:03:18] "Why did they ever go?"

[00:03:20] It may look like some empty gesture

[00:03:25] To go all that way just to come back

[00:03:30] But don't offer me a place out in cyberspace

[00:03:35] Cos where in the hell's that at?

[00:03:38] Now that the space race is over

[00:03:42] It's been and it's gone and I'll never get out of my room

[00:03:49] Because the space race is over

[00:03:52] And I can't help but feel we're all just going nowhere
