Thereâs a plane across the moon
As a nation finds its feet
There are listening posts in Cyprus
That can track a manâs heart-beat
Thereâs a plane across the moon
As a nation holds its breath
There are trades on hold in London
Waiting on Lumumbaâs death
You say âYeah, but that was then and this is now,
That was then,â
But now is made up of then,
Now is made up of then,
Again, again; again, again.
Thereâs a plane across the moon
As a nation spreads its wings
There are cables out of Washington
In code a darkness brings
Thereâs a plane across the moon
As a nation leaves the nest
Just send the thugs some dollars
And greed will do the rest
Planes and moons let business take its course
The infant state must suffocate, no profit in remorse
Moons make planes much easier to sight
Some damage is collateral, Dag Hammarskjöldâs last flight
