Ghosts of American Astronauts - Mekons

Up in the hills above Bradford

Outside the Napalm factory

(They're floating above us)

Ghosts of American astronauts

Glow in the headlight’s beam

It’s just a small step for him

It’s a nice break from Vietnam

(Filmed in a factory)

Out on the back lot in Houston

Who says the world isn’t flat

A flag flying free in a vacuum

Nixon sucks a dry martini

Ghosts of American astronauts

Stay with us in our dreams

John Glenn drinks cocktails with God

In a cafe in downtown Saigon

(High above them)

Ghosts of American Astronauts

Are drifting too close to the sun

A flag flying free in a vacuum

Nixon sucks a dry Martini

Ghosts of American astronauts

Stay with us in our dreams
