Circles Around the Sun

When he was born, the doc said, "What’s this?

He’s much too small, it’s like he’s weightless"

When he turned six, they ran some tests

They said it's for science, it's patriotic

Oh, let’s send him where no one else has gone

And after all, he cannot speak or walk

Let’s send him at the moon, do circles round the sun

When he was twelve, the time had come then

And with his eyes, he said he loved them

Then came the suits, then came the government

She stood and cried, she could not keep him

Oh, let’s send him where no one else has gone

And after all, he cannot speak or walk

Let’s send him at the moon, do circles round the sun

But he came back, yeah, he came back

He came back, a smile as big as the whole world

The doctors were shocked by his vital signs

She said, "Would you like to go home now?"

Oh, let’s send him where no one else has gone

And after all, he cannot speak or walk

Let’s send him at the moon, do circles round the sun
