Lyrics:

We are Americans with big cigars
We built a multi-national pathway to the stars
And when there is no room
We're moving to the Moon or maybe Mars

We sent the Astronaughts into the sky
It cost a hundred billion dollars to make them fly
And the people on the ground just stood without a sound
It made me cry

This is Cape Canaveral calling
We've found a crack
A piece of your engine is missing
We can't keep track
And no one who's up there's coming back

....

This is Mr Space Man calling
I've found the crack
There's some of my marbles missing
I can't keep track
And no one who's up here's coming back

We are Americans up in the sky
We spent a hundred billion dollars to make us fly
And the people on the ground just stood without a sound
It made me cry

Yes the people on the ground just stood without a sound
It made me cry
It made me cry...

Footnotes:

This song is not intended to be offensive to Americans.
Indeed it was written as part of a set of ten songs in a tribute to the
brave American Astronaughts who lost their lives in the Challenger Disaster.
The lyrics represent one of several different viewpoints offered in that set.

This always sounded good played live so I tried to create the atmosphere of
a live concert! (I'm sad that way!)

The finale uses music written by Leonard Bernstein and is roughly based on
Keith Emerson's interpretation.
