[Verse 1]
We’re high above the tranquil sea
I take a big deep breath and set the Eagle free
[Chorus 1]
Oh, I know, what I know and I know it’s all up to me
But, I feel what I feel and I feel the history
[Verse 2]
Over two hundred thousand miles home
If the Eagle fails, I go back alone
[Chorus 1]
Oh, I know, what I know and I know it’s all up to me
But, I feel what I feel and yeah, I feel the history
[Post-Chorus]
They got names like superheroes, bigger than The Beatles or I could ever be
They got all the great one-liners, written in the schoolbooks for all eternity
[Verse 3]
They’re bouncing up and down in the tranquil sea
Three hundred million girls watch on TV
[Chorus 2]
Oh, I know, what I know and I know its just jealousy
But, I feel what I feel and I feel it endlessly
[Post-Chorus]
They got names like superheroes, bigger than The Beatles or I could ever be
They got all the great one-liners, written in the schoolbooks for all eternity
[Bridge]
We are waiting for connection, trans-Earth injection, three thousand degrees, yes
Splashdown, North Pacific Ocean; soon we will be home where Hornet waits for three, yeah
[Chorus 3]
Oh, I know what I know, as my parachutes released
Like peppermint candy we float in a blue-sky dream
Like “Starlite Mints” we move through the cotton sky
And the arms of the ocean are stretched out; open wide
[Post-Chorus]
Yeah, they got all the great one-liners, written in the schoolbooks for all eternity
They got names like superheroes, bigger than The Beatles or I could ever be
[Outro]
And now I’ve all but been forgotten, Forgotten Astronaut has been lost to history, yeah
