iβll be arriving in your driveway soonβ¦
weβll fill the tank up, then weβll drive to the moonβ¦
iβve got my iPhone showing me the route
i wore my NASA suit
weβll sing a space age tune
have you been waiting for a man like me?
(weβll see)
weβre gonna leave behind your family
(trust me)
i brought a dozen roses in a vase
weβve got a dozen days βtil the next lunar phase
βcuz iβve been waiting for a girl like you
and now itβs finally gonna all come true
i brought a magazine to pass the time
weβve got a dozen days βtil the next lunar phase
iβm gonna google it and find the route
and iβll be wearing out my NASA suit
cuz weβre preparing for a landing soon
weβre landing on the moon
weβll sing a space age tune
neil armstrong
neil armstrong
wonβt take long βtil heβs home again
one small step
not there yet
itβs all we get, just time for one small step
(itβs all we get)
weβre traveling swiftly through the arctic zone
yes we are all alone, yes we are all alone
and weβll be all alone until mister armstrong comes home
mister armstrong comes home
mister armstrong comes home
play hardball
play hardball
play hardball or youβll never be remembered at all
(when the time comesβ¦)
