Gecko – Laika

Gecko – Laika Lyrics

Artist: Gecko
Song: Laika

-intro-
Back in the 1950’s russia sent a dog into space
Her name was laika
She was a moscow stray

And i’m not sure
How aware of what was going on she was
In fact
No one thought it was of any importance

To let her know
That it would actually be a one way mission
This is her song
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
-chorus-
I’m going to the stars tonight (stars tonight)

I don’t know exactly how
And i don’t know why
I’m going to the stars tonight (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 wear 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 their services were no longer required

Until the only dog left was i
-chorus-
I’m going to the stars tonight (stars tonight)
I don’t know exactly how

And i don’t know why
I’m going to the stars tonight (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 levitate

They put me on a weird diet and
Keep pointing to 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 the 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
When i go

Just don’t… leave… me be-hind
