Space Race

Crystal domes and bleeping things

Silent but for the wind

Flying low and clipping trees

Trying to dodge the military

In the space race

While we’re here creating panic

Touchdown on this tiny planet

Kid stuff, nitro, napalm, atoms

And you say nothing ever happens

Nothing ever happens!

In the space race

In the space race

In the space race

Governments see politics

And scientists see science tricks

They’re overdosed on statistics

And nothing’s in between for them

What are these cigarettes you smoke?

How do you mean it’s the ice we broke?

What’s this place going up in smoke?

Crazy humanoids, crazy humanoids

In the space race

In the space race

In the space race

(Space race!)
