Liftoff, we have liftoff
At thirty two minutes passed the hour
I’m looking up towards the sky in this dome of glass
I hope I get there soon
I’ve got my eye on the moon
I’m flying away from my family
From my home, my town, and my comforts
I’m flying away from all of my worries,
I hope I stay safe today
Liftoff, we have liftoff
At half past the sweat on my brow
They said, we don’t know what it’s like to be up there
In a ship of chrome
We want you comin’ back home
Orbiting the moon so slowly
I’m looking back at the Earth so gently
Sitting in the lander, I miss my wife and folks
And this time it’s not a hoax
Landing, we have landing
The eagle’s set its talons down in the dust
I said, I don’t know what it’s gonna be like out there
All alone
Hopping on the moon, singing this song
In my spacesuit I feel heavy
I have a gravity all my own
Here too long, I wasn’t ready
I was ready to leave, but I wasn’t ready to roam
Liftoff, we have liftoff
I’ve made my way back from the lunar surface
Landing, soon I’ll be landing
Through the Earth’s ozone
I’m happiest to be back at home

I watch you leave from the launch pad
so terrified I hope you come home soon
I hold the necklace that you gave me
clutching it so tight it chokes my throat
I head home to our home
so empty and cold without you inside
and every night whilst you’re gone
I pull out the telescope and see if I can find you
Just dancing on the moon
You’re just dancing on the moon
Just dancing on the moon
You’re just dancing on the moon
please come home soon
Just dancing on the moon
I hear no words from you
been so long without you here I take a new stride
And as the nights go by your pillow takes a new shape by my side
Some days I sit and wallow
but everyone says you’re a hero in their eyes
I pull out the telescope and see if I can find you
and then I smile
You’re just dancing on the moon
Just dancing on the moon
You’re just dancing on the moon
You’re just dancing on the moon
We’re just dancing on the moon
Together on the moon
We’re just dancing on the moon
We’re just dancing on the moon
We’re just dancing on the moon
Together on the moon
