Lyrics
1961
Had a dream in a world of wonder
Woke up to steel in Lyubertsy
Was it talking to me?
Was it calling to steer past what we'd see
And see past what we'd be
Now I'm in a single-pilot vostok capsule with the clouds about it
Faced with a freedom as the side boosters fall away, screaming into space
Wait, tell me when we start the race
No sight of god through the end of summer,
Just Valentina and a window screen
Were they talking to me?
Were they calling to steer past what we'd see
And see past what we'd be
And I flew a single-pilot vostok capsule and the crowds all shouted
Faced with a feeling that the side boosters fell away, screaming into space
Wait, tell me when we start the race
...Were they crying for me?
Were we dying to steer past what we'd see
And see past what we'd be
Yeah I'm in a dual-pilot MiG-15 and it's getting crowded
Laced with a feeling that the side boosters went away, screaming into space
Wait, tell me when we start the race
Wait, tell me when we start the race
Wait, tell me when we start the race
