Pond (US) - My Dog Is an Astronaut, Though lyrics

You strapped the dog into a chair, she tried to lick your face Then you counted backwards and you launched her into space You made no provisions for bringing her back home High and all alone You can look into the sky you might see a falling star If I get one wish I hope that Laika will go far I hope she sails on and on across the universe Finds there some new world where she'll be safe from man's experiments That don't have come home parts Free from being bound by chains or left alone in cars Wonder if she'll think about a family back on earth Laika Laika My dog is an astronaut light years away from home She lives up in heaven howling above the moon She's not coming down it takes more than you to keep a good dog on the ground She's not coming back it take more than you to keep a good dog down Every night I look out my window, I find the faintest star above How'd you ever pick a name that you're never gonna use enough Why'd you name her if that was your big plan
