Edwin backs into the void 
C           E5        
     Bb5 
He's not in training now 
C           E5        
        Bb5                         C 
And the pilot standing 19 feet from Edwin 
     E5                    Bb5 
On a surface bleached bone white 
                        C            E5 
Was once a pilot flying sorties in a war 
               Bb5 
But that don't matter any more 

C           E5        

        Bb5 
Edwin's three feet from the floor 
C           E5 
       Bb5 
As the pilot without warning 
        C               E5 
Takes a piss inside his pants 
           Bb5 
Hoping his pressure suit don't boil 
C           E5        
         Bb5 
And then Edwin does the same 
C           E5 
Bb5 
Charles Darwin's royals 
C           E5 
           Bb5 
Notice the Eagle too 
                    C            E5 
Man's greatest feat miraculously intact 
          Bb5 
All acute angles, knees and elbows 
          C       E5 
Squats in golden underpants

Am          Em

Much later in the day 
C           E5        
      Bb5 
Edwin locks the cargo bay 
C           E5        
         Bb5 
And then turns to see the Cyclops 
     C                     E5 
Neil Armstrong through the hatch 
            Bb5 
He's moving further out of Wednesday 
            C               E5 
Eye clamped between the ice caps 

     Bb5 
Then Edwin does the same 
C           E5 
                 Bb5                         C              E5 
They're like two orphans at the window of an aeroplane 
     Dm 
It's 200 below zero 
          Am 
The sun's shrieking like an owl 
      Em 
Their footprints crush the bones of fairies 
         Dm         Am 
As their grasps are disemboweled
