Creating The New Paranoid Man by Craw (band) Lyrics

Solid motor ejection
Thor Rocket Septaration
Agena ignition
Initiate photo ops
Hidden inside a milk factory
In Needham, Massachusetts
The powers that be gave us
An extension of three months

To build the impossible

The damn acetate cracked endlessly
A corona was cast on every photograph
The spin rockets kept blowing up
And in the end
All the components were built from scratch

Control freaks are now imitating
The worst in past Soviet practices
The public paid for the Corona Satellites
We now demand maximum access
Plenty of missions
Plenty of glitches
Errant film canisters
Ended up with the Russian woodcutters

Pitch down
Heat shield Septaration
Deceleration chute
And air recovery
