The Granite Shore - Tomorrow morning, 3 a.m. lyrics

[Verse 1a] Tomorrow morning at 3 a.m., I'll walk out of the back door and into the garden I'll look to the heavens and know I'll be heading up there When I reach the fence that runs right up against the railway embankment I'll moisten a finger and hold it straight up in the air [Verse 1b] Tomorrow morning at 3 a.m., I'll undo the padlocks and check all the systems I've insulated the floor to dissipate heat My rocket -powered module with tins for a body will stand there gloriously gleaming And there is not one force of nature I cannot defeat [Chorus 1] And if Moonbase is open tomorrow they will see me flying by And I'll stop and I'll wave, I'll salute as I stand One small step for one small man [Verse 2] Tomorrow morning at 3 a.m., I'll be ready for lift-off and when the time comes then I'll need no charts, I know every light year, night or day And as I sear through the final frontier, then I will hear a “pop” in my ear I will kick out and I know just how much I shall weigh [Chorus 2] And if Moonbase is open tomorrow they will see me hurtling past And they'll stop and they'll stare, they'll salute as I stand On my chair, as I straighten my tie with my hand And then if I can, I'll find somewhere to land One small step for one small man [Verse 3] Tomorrow morning at 3 a.m., with my pipe freshly filled, I'll be with you again You always said that was the mark of a man Not eau-de-cologne, not what's bred in the bone, I am rambling now but we'll soon be alone There's time to make up and I need to atone if I can [Chorus 3] And if Moonbase is open tomorrow they will see my vapour line And a comet that appears every three-score and ten years Will shoot out and the pair will entwine
