We're high above the tranquil sea
I take a big deep breath and set the Eagle free
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
Over two hundred thousand miles home
If the Eagle fails, I go back alone
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
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
They're bouncing up and down in the tranquil sea
Three hundred million girls watch on TV
Oh, I know, what I know and I know its just jealousy
But, I feel what I feel and I feel it endlessly
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
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
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
Yeah, they got all the great one-liners,
Written in the schoolbooks for everyone to read
Yeah, they got names like superheroes,
Bigger than The Beatles on black and white TV
And now I've all but been forgotten,
Forgotten Astronaut has been lost to history, yeah
