lyrics

Seated at the summit of a well engineered explosion
He prepared his thoughts for fireflies and warnings
Only a Shy American, thrust into the public sky
By an ingenious weapon, prepared for every legend

Even where a dog died in a globe
And still comes around enclosed
In a heaven of Russian wire

Uncle stayed alive, gone in a robe of light
Ripping around the pretty world of girls and sights
"It will be fun," he thinks, "If by my pleasant flight
The ignorant and the Africans become convinced."

Convinced of what? Nobody knows
But The Major is too far out
Four days ahead of his own news

Until at last the Shy American smiles
Colliding again with air, fire, and lenses
To stand upon the noisy Earth
And engineer consent

Consent to what? Nobody knows
But the computers are convinced
Fed full of numbers by the True Believers
