Space Race |
| «Good morning, this is mission control |
| We’ve got a beautiful day, and you’ve been cleared for lift-off.» |
| You don’t need no juice or rocket fuel |
| You don’t need to waste time in flight school |
| You gotta burn bright like a meteorite |
| Start spinning around like a satellite |
| So let’s you and me defy gravity |
| Come on everybody, everybody come on |
| And get up! |
| Space race |
| Space race |
| Space race |
| Space race |
| Life in the slow lane gets to be a drag |
| gotta pack a bag, uh-huh |
| The shuttle’s fast, if you like to get around |
| My mind’s on the Moon, my behind is on the ground |
| Come on! |
| So you wanna be an astronaut? |
| («You've been cleared for lift off.») |
| Fire it up, give it all you got («In T minus 60 seconds») |
| So you wanna be an astronaut? |
| Fire it up, give it all you got |
| Space race |
| Space race |
| Space race |
| Space race |
| I had a close encounter, didn’t know what kind |
| Bright lights in the sky, you never know what you’ll find |
| I haven’t stayed around, just to see what was the plan |
| Jogging up the door, came a little tiny man |
| So you wanna be an astronaut? |
| («all systems go, lift-off in T minus 20 seconds. |
| Fire it up, give it all you got |
| So you wanna be an astronaut? |
| Fire it up, give it all you got |
| 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0, rock it! |
| We got lift off, Houston, we got lift off in a 700 hours, looking good |
| 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0, rock it! |
| Looking good, looking good! |
| We got a lift-off, we got a lift-off |
| Let’s you and me defy gravity |
| Let’s you and me defy gravity |
| Space race |
| Space race |
| Space race |
| Space race |
| A little space friends said he had to call home |
| «You look like a freak», and he felt so all alone |
| He said he came to Earth to see what it’s about |
| He said it’s easy getting in, but it’s hard getting out |
| So you wanna be an astronaut? |
| (This is mission control, we’re switching |
| director rockets) |
| Fire it up, give it all you got (For our second stage of the lift-off.) |
| So you wanna be an astronaut? |
| Fire it up, give it all you got |
| Space race |
| Space race |
| Space race |
| Space race |
| Space |
| So you wanna be an astronaut? |
| (This is mission control, we’re switching to |
| automatic pilot) |
| Fire it up, give it all you got (Relax fellas, everything’s under control.) |
| So you wanna be an astronaut? |
| Fire it up, give it all you got |
| Space race |
| Space race |
| Space race |
| Space race |
| People everywhere, if you wanna get away |
| Maybe just around the corner, or the Milky Way |
| Transport is in your mind, if you wanna be free |
| To race for space, that’s made for you & me |
| This is mission control, we’re switching you now to our commander-in-chief |
| Well, I’d like to congratulate you on your outstanding efforts |
| We’re all very proud of all of you |
| And we’re all hoping and wishing for your safe return… |
| Space… race |
| Space… race |
| Space… race |
| Space… |
| Space race |
| Space race |
| Space race |
