Apoptygma Berzerk - Apollo (Rotersand Rework) lyrics

"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
Suit's 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

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

"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!

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!

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

"Though thou exhalt thyself as the eagle"
"And though thou set thy
Nest among the stars"
"Thence will I bring you down"
