Apollo (Rotersand Rework)

[Radio Chatter from Apollo 8 mission]
"This transmission is coming to you approximately halfway between the moon and the earth."
"Ok, Apollo 8 is go."
"Uh, you're riding the best bird we can find."
"All systems are go Apollo."
"All systems are go Apollo 8."
"Ok, Apollo 8 is go."

The sun is up
Mission begins
Suits and helmets on
Now we look like twins
"Are we going to succeed?" I wonder
Then they shut the door
And engines start to roar

[Chorus]
Live on your TV defying gravity
There's a pale blue planet beneath us
We're live on your TV dictating history
Knowing that they'll never believe us

[Radio Chatter]
"All systems are go Apollo 8."
"Ok, Apollo 8 is go."
"Uh, you're riding the best bird we can find."
"The earth and the sun."

Staring at a paper moon
Thinking to myself
"I wish we'd go home soon"
Inside the eagle's shell
We float in space
We know just what to do
Waiting for our cue

Cameras rolling and we're ready to go!
Cameras rolling and we're ready to go!
(Ohhh)
Cameras rolling and we're ready to go!

[Chorus]
Live on your TV defying gravity
There's a pale blue planet beneath us
We're live on your TV dictating history
Knowing that they'll never believe us

Cameras rolling and we're ready to go!
Cameras rolling and we're ready to go!
Cameras rolling and we're ready to go!
Cameras rolling and we're ready to go!

[Chorus]
Live on your TV defying gravity
There's a pale blue planet beneath us
We're live on your TV dictating history
Knowing that they'll never believe us

[Radio Chatter]
"Though thou exhalt thyself as the eagle"
"And though thou set thy nest among the stars"
"Thence will I bring you down"
