About This Track

‘Apollo’ by Momma is a 2019 track from the album ‘Apollo/Highway - Single’. The lyrics cast a surreal first-person narrator who imagines themselves as “the pilot of a puppet town”, watching their own words and maintaining a night-time ritual with a god. A refrain insists that Apollo is close, but not seen, turning the song into a study of presence versus perception.

"Apollo" is a track by Momma, from the album Apollo/Highway - Single, released 28th June 2019. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 11 articles about Momma.

Lyrics

Apollo

[Verse 1]

I am the pilot of a puppet town

Used to be a crony, had to watch my mouth

And I sleep with your god nightly

[Chorus]

(But you don't see)

Apollo's right next to me

(But you don't see)

Apollo's right next to me

(But you don't see)

Apollo's right next to me

(But you don't see)

Apollo's right next to me

Ahhahh ahh, ahhahh ahh

Ahhahh ahh, ahhahh ahh

Ahhahh ahh, ahhahh ahh

Ahhahh ahh, ahhahh ahh

[Verse 2]

I am the bronco of this house

Used to get crushed but I crush bugs, now

You'll pray to your god nightly

[Chorus]

(And then you'll see)

Apollo's right next to me

(And then you'll see)

Apollo's right next to me

(And then you'll see)

Apollo's right next to me

(And then you'll see)

Apollo's right next to me

Ahhahh ahh, ahhahh ahh

Ahhahh ahh, ahhahh ahh

Ahhahh ahh, ahhahh ahh

Ahhahh ahh, ahhahh ahh
