Laika lyrics

When I was 3, my mother said to me
Eat up your greens and say your grave
While on TV they put a dog in space
And left here there... you should`ve seen her face

When I was 5, the dream was still alive
And Walter Cronkite said: `One day we`ll earn our daily bread
Conducting things in outer space`
But still on earth I thrive... and you pretend I`m not alive
And walk by with my substitute
While I fasten the oxygen valve on my space suit

When I was 8, we shared a cloakrack - it was great
And I pretended I had so much on my plate
I had a speech to write, about moonshot trajectory
And during phonics class, perfected my delivery
Now the band`s playing `Hail to the Chief`
While my capsule`s out floating by some tropical reef

all the experts can agree on, regarding your motives
in the cape canaveral crash... is that they know nothing
it puzzles me so...

Now I`m full grown, and I`ve a spacecraft of my own
But there you sit, still upon your Earthly throne
Hey darling, throw this `space-pup` a bone
Don`t touch that dial, don`t hang up that phone
