A sad song about a stray russian dog named Laika who got shot up into space by russian scientists in 1957. Laika died after 6 hours in orbit when the cooling system failed and she got overheated.

Hello from Sputnik 2
I am receiving you
Thanks for the dog food
I'm somewhere above you now
Guess what Malashenkov?
I took the collar off
I'm holding my own leash
And walking myself outside
This door
I don't think
I want to be a good dog anymore.
Now I'm floating free
And the moon’s with me
And it's bright enough
To light the dark
And it's so high up here
And the stars so clear
Are they close enough?
Will they hear me bark from here?
