Space Doggity

The cage is very small

A tiny silver ball

That makes you a hero

The moment you step inside

The world is watching you

What you're about to do

Will live on forever

Even though you'll be dead

And gone

Buckle up

We're about to turn the engines on.

Hello from Sputnik 2

I am receiving you

Thanks for the dog food

I'm somewhere above you now

Guess what Malashenkov?

I took the collar off

I'm holding my own leash

And walking myself outside

This door

I don't think

I want to be a good dog anymore.

Now I'm floating free

And the moon’s with me

And it's bright enough

To light the dark

And it's so high up here

And the stars so clear

Are they close enough?

Will they hear me bark from here?

Moscow to Sputnik 2

I think we're losing you

Your life signs are fading

We can't really say that we're

Surprised

It's a shame

There is always something that gets compromised

Now I'm floating free

And the moon's with me

And it's bright enough

To light the dark

And it's so high up here

And the stars so clear

Are they close enough?

Will they hear me bark from here?
