lyrics

They didn't understand
It was impossible to do
And so they all put on their boots
And started walking to the moon

Went up the nearest mountain
And stepped out into the air
And then just kept on climbing up
Completely unaware

Passing through the clouds
It was a little hard to see
The faintest lunar glow
Beyond the undulating screen

Soon they reached the other side
Emerging in the light
Their pride and spirits soaring
As the moon came into sight

They didn't even try
They didn't even care
Even when the children cried
All they did was stare

They're never who they say
You can pray and pray
They'll never let it go
You know what you're in for

They didn't even try
They didn't even care
Even when the children cried
All they did was stare

They're never who they say
You can pray and pray
They'll never ever let it go

With one last gasp of atmosphere
They stepped out into space
The silent frozen vacuum
Stealing every sound away

Stripped of any voices
They marched on in single file
plodding hour after hour
dragging mile after mile

They didn't even try
They didn't even care
Even when the children cried
All they did was stare

They're never who they say
You can pray and pray
They'll never let it go
You know what you're in for

They didn't even try
They didn't even care
Even when the children cried
All they did was stare

They're never who they say
You can pray and pray
They'll never ever let it go

There on the surface at last
The emptiness impossibly vast

It wasn't the dream they'd been led to believe
But now it was too late to turn back.

They'll never let it go
They'll never let you go
