The cage is very small

A tiny silver ball

 That makes you a hero

 The moment you step inside

The world is watching you

What you're about to do

 Will live on forever

Even though you'll be dead

 And gone

 Buckle up

 We're about to turn the engines on.

Hello from Sputnik 2

I am receiving you

Thanks for the dog food

 I'm somewhere above you now

Guess what Malashenkov?

I took the collar off

 I'm holding my own leash

 And walking myself outside

 This door

 I don't think

 I want to be a good dog anymore

 Now I'm floating free

 And the moon's with me

 And it's bright enough

 To light the dark

 And it's so high up here

 And the stars so clear

 Are they close enough?

 Will they hear me bark from here?

Moscow to Sputnik 2

I think we're losing you

 Your life signs are fading

 We can't really say that we're

 Surprised

 It's a shame

 There is always something that gets compromised

 Now I'm floating free

 And the moon's with me

 And it's bright enough

 To light the dark

 And it's so high up here

 And the stars so clear

 Are they close enough?

 Will they hear me bark from here?
