Shooting the Moon

[Verse 1] All of the astronauts, champagne in plastic cups Waiting for the big hero to show Outside the door, he stands, his head in his hands And his heart in his throat [Pre-Chorus] What can he tell 'em now? "Sorry I let you down Sorry it wasn't quite true" But don't get hung up on it, just soldier on with it And good luck with shootin' the moon [Chorus] Shootin' the moon Shootin' the moon The moon Shootin' the moon [Verse 2] All of the principals, generals, admirals And the podium lit with the spotlight The crowd buzzing quietly, waiting expectantly Like it's opening night [Pre-Chorus] What can he tell 'em now? "Sorry I let you down Sorry it wasn't quite true" But don't get hung up on it, just soldier on with it And good luck with shootin' the moon [Chorus] Shootin' the moon Shootin' the moon The moon Shootin' the moon
