Circles Around The Sun

(album: Circles Around The Sun - 2012)

When he was born, the doc said “What's this?”
He's much too small, it's like he's weightless.
When he turned six, they ran some tests.
They said, "It's for science, it's patriotic."

"Ah let's send him where no one else has gone.
And after all he cannot speak or walk
Let's send him at the moon, do circles round the Sun."

When he was twelve, the time had come then
And with his eyes, he said he loved them
Then came the suits, then came the government
She stood and cried, she could not keep him

"Ah let's send him where no one else has gone.
And after all he cannot speak or walk
Let's send him at the moon, do circles round the Sun."

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Oh, oh, oh
Ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Oh, oh, oh
Ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho

Then he came back, yeah he came back.
He came back, a smile as big as the whole world.
The doctors were shocked by his vital signs.
She said, "Would you like to go home now?"

"Ah let's send him where no one else has gone.
And after all he cannot speak or walk
Let's send him at the moon, do circles around the Sun."
