Don't Call Me Ishmael - To the Moon (Reprise) Lyrics




You'd better raise the white flag, 'cos we're not coming back from this
They say we bought it on ourselves, that we got ourselves in this mess
I think we might be headed for mediocrity
We reached for the Moon, but we peaked too soon and now we're falling with gravity

All this talk of defeatism, I never heard it from you
And our mission isn't over until we set foot on the Moon
Even when we get there, our story will go on
Once we've conquered the Moon, let's head on for the Sun

They say I'm only fooling one person in this town
And that they're all sick of the same old shtick, and now the whole thing is falling down
Well nobody can save me, I guess I was born to fail
These politics of the self and my mental health are slowly spiralling down the drain

All this endless pessimism, it won't do you any good
And though the whole World still beckons, you're gonna stay just where you're stood
You've got to kick off the inaction, it's not the person that I know
And the Moon will stay out of reach, if you never set to go

I wish I could be the positive man I was before the good times disappeared
Things seemed so much better when Bowie, Prince and Cohen were still here
But I digress; this is not about Heroes - it's about the here and now
So what's the point in starting, when you know it isn't going to end well
