I'm going to the stars tonight

I don't know exactly how and I don't know why

Grew up on cold Moscow streets

These paws they saw all kinds of trouble

Scrapping with puppies over something to eat

It's tough, looks rough but you can't knock the muzzle

These stray days

Wasting away as we waste away days

There must be more to life than this

I'm going to the stars tonight

I don't know exactly how and I don't know why

I'm going to the stars tonight

I don't know exactly how and I don't know why

But when I go

Just don't leave me behind

Men in strange suits scooped me off the roadside

Gave me free food

How was I to know I

Had been selected for a secret mission

Took me to all kinds of uncomfortable fittings

Dogs don't war hats

And there were other dogs there

All in training

It was like a montage of a particularly strange film

And every day my cage got a bit smaller

And other dogs they got the call up

That there services were no longer required

Until the only dog left was I

I'm going to the stars tonight

I don't know exactly how and I don't know why

I'm going to the stars tonight

I don't know exactly how and I don't know why

But when I go

Just don't leave me behind

That just about brings us to the present day

Tonight's the night they say I'm gonna elevate

They put me on a weird diet and

Keep pointing at strange diagrams

Say I'm going higher than

Anyone has ever been

A distant canine

Drifting in space time

Just need a bit of space I'm

Not used to this pressure

Surely there's somebody better qualified?

But I guess the sooner I go

The sooner I can come home

Going to the stars tonight

I don't know exactly how and I don't know why

I used to say

There must be more to life than this

But it's the normal life I miss

There must be more to life than this

But it's the normal life I miss

And when I go

Just don't leave me behind
