Mike Gordon & Leo Kottke The Collins Missile Lyrics

When the Collins missile came, I opened up the box,
Followed the instructions, and took it to a field.
I aimed it at your house, because of all the things you said,
Like the time you said I'll never change, and made my face turn red.

But the Collins missile broke before I got to use it.
I couldn't find the fuse, and the dials wouldn't turn.
It seemed to lack the features that made me want to choose it.
The falls back in your court, though I tried to take a turn.

I was glad it didn't work, so I left it in the field.
I was shocked that without me even there, two days later off the Collins flew.

But the Collins missile worked before I got to stop it.
I couldn't find the fuse, and the dials wouldn't turn.
It seemed to lack the features that made me want to choose it.
The falls back in your court, though I tried to take a turn,
To take a turn. The Collins missile burns in the air, flying there.
