Once upon a time
Not so long ago
Dinos use to walk on the Earth
meteor then strikes
Then wipes out the life...its sad, so sad
Mammals live to see a new day
evolving into man, we look into the dark sky
and dream
Because we've got to hold on to our old dream
it matters more then ever
If we make it or not
We've got rocketships and that's alot.
For life - we'll give it a shot
Chorus:
Whooah, we're half way there
Whooah, Livin on Nuemeumayer
Teach kids STEM and we'll make it - I swear
Whooah, Livin on Nuemeumayer
NASA then lands on the full moon
Dreams of a base; their budget gets cut
and dreams die - so close
Humans then stay stuck in LEO
some cry in the night
Muse whispers baby we'll make it, someday
we've got to hold on to our old dream
it matters more then ever
If we make it or not
We've got rocketships, but do we dream of space
well give it a shot
Whooah, we're half way there
Whooah, Livin on Nuemeumayer
Fund NASA and well make it - I swear
Whooah, Livin on Nuemeumayer
Livin on Nuemeumayer
Before the fire starts falling down;
When your saving life you'll give all that you got!
Whooah, we're half way there
Whooah, Livin on Nuemeumayer
Keep dreaming and we'll make it - I swear
Whooah, Livin on Nuemeumayer
Whooah, we're half way there
Whooah, Livin on Nuemeumayer
Keep dreaming and we'll make it - I swear
Whooah, Livin on Nuemeumayer
Whooah, we're half way there
Whooah, Livin on Nuemeumayer
Keep dreaming and we'll make it - I swear
Whooah, Livin on Nuemeumayer
