Laika
Peering out from her tiny cockpit
Laika watched them wave goodbye
Oh how could she know
Who could have told her
That she wasn't meant to come back?
To come back
Laika watched as underneath her
Hills and mountains waved goodbye
And were whisked into dusk
While a beautiful sight
It's a shame she couldn't wait to come back
To come back
Oh, Laika
Au revoir to the queen of the stars
You were the first to see them
(You were the first)
How would you feel?
(How would you feel?)
If you knew that?
(If you only knew that?)
If you knew that?
Would it make you feel any better?
That night over the streets of Moscow
The night sky seemed a little darker
Oh, Laika the dog
A victim of history
And all its most selfish designs
Come back
Come back
Come back
Laika watched them wave goodbye
Oh how could she know
Who could have told her
That she wasn't meant to come back?
To come back
Laika watched as underneath her
Hills and mountains waved goodbye
And were whisked into dusk
While a beautiful sight
It's a shame she couldn't wait to come back
To come back
Oh, Laika
Au revoir to the queen of the stars
You were the first to see them
(You were the first)
How would you feel?
(How would you feel?)
If you knew that?
(If you only knew that?)
If you knew that?
Would it make you feel any better?
That night over the streets of Moscow
The night sky seemed a little darker
Oh, Laika the dog
A victim of history
And all its most selfish designs
Come back
Come back
Come back
