Have you seen my astronaut he left two weeks ago,
On a lunar mission although why I'll never know.
He said he couldn't bear to leave me behind,
But they told him it's for progress and the future of mankind.
When I asked them at the Space Station do they think that they'll hear soon,
They just said.... he's on the dark side of the moon.
It has now been a month since we said goodbye,
I watched his rocket blast from earth like fire in the sky.
On earth people are fighting for power land and wealth,
But up there he's sole ruler he has a planet to himself.
When I asked them at the Space Station have they any news,
They said not yet......he's on the dark side of the moon.
Have you seen my astronaut for 3 months he's been gone,
On earth millions are starving but the space program goes on.
Now they could feed the children and save a dying race,
For what it's cost, to send and lose, just one man in space.
I asked them at the Space Station are their satellites in tune,
And they just said.....he's on the dark side of the moon.
Have you seen my astronaut it's 6 months since he went,
I now know that it's not the moon but heaven he's been sent,
The station say they're sorry, to lose a good man is a waste,
But now they've sent another man to fill his lonely place.
I asked was he successful or did he die in vain.
And they tell me from the dark side, no data ever came.
