And they didn't lend a hand We were fired into outer space In a capsule aimed at a planet To try to learn if we could stand the place If there's a language could we understand it But we'll miss the breeze Watching the mercury climb We'll miss the trees waving leaves in the summertime We'll even miss the snow Watching the heater glow Hearing songs that we know on the radio Hearing songs that we know on the radio They had said we be the first ones to find out what it's like But we landed in the wreckage of a thousand former flights We had bought into the story and we're sorry that we did But we'll miss the breeze Watching the mercury climb We'll miss the trees waving leaves in the summertime We'll even miss the snow Watching the heater glow Hearing songs that we know on the radio Hearing songs that we know on the radio Hearing songs that we know on the radio
