I used to hear the trains
Such a distant and lonely sound
And driving that train
To some place so distant
Was a dream
A wonder for dream to me

I looked up at the planes
As they crossed through
The blue Russian sky
And imagined myself
Flying and falling
Laughing as I embraced
My destiny

I rode the Vostok round the earth
They say there’s a first time for
For everything
When I landed back to earth
It was my own voice I heard
that was singing

Don’t point your missiles at me, man
Or I’ll point my missiles at you
Got ourselves a crisis on a global scale
Invade us and we’ll blow you to hell
So don’t point your missiles at me, man
Or I’ll point my missiles at you

You got your rockets
We got our missiles
Russian Missiles
On Cuban soil HEY

Kennedy wants to send in the troops
Castro Khrushchev, push the button
Castro – Khrushchev – Kennedy – BOOM!

You got your missiles
We got our rockets
US Rockets
In Florida HEY!
