Over The Moon Lyrics

MAUREEN

Last night I had a dream

I found myself in a desert called Cyberland

It was hot

My canteen had sprung a leak and I was thirsty

Out of the abyss walked a cow - Elsie

I asked if she had anything to drink

She said, "I'm forbidden to produce milk

In Cyberland, only thing we drink is Diet Coke."

She said, "Only thing to do is jump over the moon"

"They've closed everything real down. . .

Like barns, troughs, performance spaces. . .

And replaced it all with lies and rules and virtual life

But there is a way out. . .

BACKUPS

Leap of fate leap of fate

Leap of fate leap of fate

MAUREEN

"Only thing to do is jump over the moon"

I gotta get out of here!

It's like I'm being tied to the hood

of a yellow rental truck,

Being packed in with fertelizer and fuel oil

Pushed over a cliff by a suicidal Mickey Mouse! -

I've gtaa find a way

MAUREEN                                    BACKUPS

To jump over the moon                  Leap of faith (Etc.)

Only thing to do is

Jump over the moon

MAUREEN

Then a little bulldog entered

His name (we have learned) was Benny

And although he once had principles

He abandoned them to live as a lap dog

To a wealthy daughter of the Revolution

"That's bull," he said.  "Ever since the cat

Took up the fiddle, that cow's been jumpy.

And the dish and spoon were evicted from the table - And eloped

She's ahd trouble with that milk and the moon ever since.

Maybe it's a female thing.

'Cause who'd want to leave Cyberland anyway?

Walls ain't so bad

The dish and the spoon for instance

They were down on their luck -

Knocked no my doghouse door.

I said, 'Not in my backyard, utensils!

Go back to China!'

'The only way out - is up,' Elsie whispered to me.

'A leap fo faith.  Still thirsty?' she asked.

Parched.

'Have some milk.'

I lowered myself beneath her

and held my mouth to her swollen udder

and sucked the sweetest milk I'd ever tasted.

'Climb on board,' she said.

And as a harvest moon rose over Cyberland

We reared back and sprang into a gallop.

Leaping out of orbit!!!

MAUREEN                                            BACKUPS

I awoke singing                                      Leap of faith (Etc.)

Only thing to do

Only thing to do is jump

Only thing to do is jump over the moon

Only thing to do is jump over the moon

Over the moon - Over the

Moooooooo

Moooooooo

Moooooooo

Moo with me.

Thank you.
