Orphans of Apollo

Walter Anderson Living the dream man Living the dream man Never again I said to myself never again When was the rain I asked myself when was the rain Something's changed And I want this for myself For me but no one else When they promised us tomorrow But their promises were hollow We're all orphans of Apollo Brive-la-Gaillarde Brive-la-Gaillarde I'm flying in from Brive-la-Gaillarde Le Massif Central Marian's tears in my lap Writing lyrics to my songs My pretty little songs Why don't you sing along Why don't you Sing along And I want this for myself For me but no one else When they promised us tomorrow But their promises were hollow We're all orphans of Apollo It's 1969 Everything's fine Three men have died Saturn V That was before forever Now we are falling together And the stars you have inside Shine And the stars they shine And I want this for myself For me but no one else And I want this for myself For me but no one else Space nation space children Eight and a half minutes to orbit Oh those Russians Oh those Russians A private army Don't you wish you were someone else Don't you wish you were someone else My way here would have been different I will fight for you for you for us I will fight you for you for us I will fight you I will fight you for you for us
