Three Apollo Astronauts on a simulated test
A sudden oxygen blaze and you know the rest
A moon shot planned by Kennedy at his behest
The lone gunman theory used to prevent social unrest,

Not without casualties man reaches for the stars
Great technical achievements not without scars
Saturn V was launched fans watched from TV’s at bars
Viking missions landed but the Rover drove across Mars,

While some think Martians are alive on the planet
NASA claims they attempted to look but did not plan on it
The Great Galactic Ghoul devoured satellites on the way to Mars
More mysteries await us on our way to the stars,

While our fighter pilots disappear in pursuit of UFO’s
Orbs fly about at terrific speeds and glow
They say Captain Mantell suffered from anoxia at over 20,000 feet
He crashed never bailing out of his P-51 cockpit seat,

While Felix Montcla and Lt. Wilson disappeared over the Great Lakes
Their F-89 Scorpion vanished from radar for goodness sakes
While US generals attest to a dangerous game of high stakes
Frederic Valentich sighted a UFO and disappeared over Bass Straights,

Some tell us UFO’s have been with us all along
Aerial lights in cave drawings the evidence seems strong
Did man’s curiosity lure him to achieving greater heights?
Was it someone who descended from unknown nocturnal lights?
