Lyrics Ghosts of American Astronauts - Mekons

Ghosts of American Astronauts

Up in the hills above Bradford
Outside the Napalm factory
(They're floating above us)
Ghosts of American astronauts
Glow in the headlight’s beam
It’s just a small step for him
It’s a nice break from Vietnam
(Filmed in a factory)
Out on the back lot in Houston
Who says the world isn’t flat
A flag flying free in a vacuum
Nixon sucks a dry martini
Ghosts of American astronauts
Stay with us in our dreams
John Glenn drinks cocktails with God
In a cafe in downtown Saigon
(High above them)
Ghosts of American Astronauts
Are drifting too close to the sun
A flag flying free in a vacuum
Nixon sucks a dry Martini
Ghosts of American astronauts
Stay with us in our dreams
