NASA Clapping

Who's gone and been a greedy boy? Me! I've gone and eaten what I love -- You! I've stuffed the rats' tails in the black slot provided in the letterbox Buzz Aldrin took me by the arm And said one day that I'd be rich I think he meant that I was gonna be your lover in his lifetime And I thought I heard, I thought I heard NASA clapping And I thought I heard, I thought I heard NASA clapping There'll be a golf course on the moon And we can sleep in lava tubes And we can bask in solar winds And lunar flares will do you nicely (nicely) And there'll be cows and there'll be jails And sewage to comfort the vegetables As we contaminate the sky the moon becomes a shrieking skull But I thought I heard, I thought I heard NASA clapping I thought I heard, I thought I heard NASA clapping The universe is made of bees And they're all buzzing 'round your chart If you would penetrate the bees, you've got to number them politely Oh, yes And I thought I heard, I thought I heard NASA clapping I thought I heard, I thought I heard NASA clapping I thought I heard, I thought I heard NASA clapping Buzz buzz --- NASA Clapping - Robyn Hitchcock
