Lyrics

[Chorus]

I blame you for the moonlit sky

And the dream that died

With the eagle's flight

I blame you for the moonlit nights

When I wonder why

Are the seas still dry?

Don't blame this sleeping satellite

[Verse 1]

Did we fly to the moon too soon?

Did we squander the chance?

In the rush of the race

The reason we chase is lost in romance

And still we try to justify the waste

For a taste of man's greatest adventure, whoa

[Chorus]

I blame you for the moonlit sky

And the dream that died

With the eagle's flight

I blame you for the moonlit nights

When I wonder why

Are the seas still dry?

Don't blame this sleeping satellite

[Verse 2]

Have we lost what it takes to advance?

Have we peaked too soon?

If the world is so green

Then why does it scream under a blue moon?

We wonder why if the Earth's sacrificed

For a price of it's greatest treasure, whoa

[Chorus]

I blame you for the moonlit sky

And the dream that died

With the eagle's flight

I blame you for the moonlit nights

When I wonder why

Are the seas still dry?

Don't blame this sleeping satellite

[Verse 3]

And when we shoot for the stars

What a giant step

Have we got what it takes

To carry the weight of this concept?

Or pass it by like a shot in the dark

Miss the mark with a sense of adventure, whoa

[Bridge]

Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh, yeah, yeah

Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh, yeah, yeah

Don't blame this sleeping satellite

[Chorus]

I blame you for the moonlit sky

And the dream that died

With the eagle's flight

I blame you for the moonlit nights

When I wonder why

Are the seas still dry?

Don't blame this sleeping satellite

[Outro]

Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh, yeah, yeah

Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh, yeah, yeah

Don't blame this sleeping satellite

Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh, yeah, yeah

Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh, yeah, yeah

Don't blame this sleeping satellite
