Lyrics for Song: Over The Moon
Lyrics for Album: Rent Original Broadway Cast Disc 1 (1996)
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 we only drink
DIET COKE...diet coke."
She said, Only thing to do is jump over the moon,
They closed everything real down
Like barns and troughs and performance spaces
And replaced it all with lies and rules and virtual life.
But there is a way out
(leap of faith, leap of faith)
OOOoooooo
Only thing to do is jump over the moon
IIIIIIIIIII've gotta get out of here
It's like I'm being tied to the hood of a yellow rental truck
Being packed in with fertilizer, and fuel oil
Pushed over a cliff by a suicidal Mickey Mouse III've
gotta (X10)
Find a way, to jump over the moon
Only thing to do is jump over the moon
Then, a little bull dog walked in
His name, we have learned, is Benny
And although he once had principles
He abandoned them to live as a lapdog to a wealthy daughter of the revolution
"uh one two three that's bull" he said
Ever since that cat took up the fiddle that cows been- jumping
The dish and the spoon were evicted from the table and eloped
She's had trouble with the milk and the moon ever since
Maybe its a... female thing
'Cause who'd want to leave Cyberland anyway?
Walls ain't so bad
The dish and the spoon for instance, they're down on their luck
THey come knocking on my doghouse door and i say,
"NOT IN MY BACKYARD, UTENSILS, GO BACK TO CHINA!"
The only way out is up
Elsie whispered to me, "A leap of faith"
Sill thirsty... parched, have some milk
And I lowered myself beneath her and held my mouth to her swollen udder
And sucked the sweetest milk I have ever tasted (slurp)
"CLIMB ONBOARD!" she said
And as a harvest moon rose over Cyberland, we reared back
And sprang into a gallop
Leaping, out of orbit, i awoke singing
(leap of faith, leap of faith)
OOOooo
Only thing to do, only thing to 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 mooo
Mooooooooooo
MOOOOOOOOO
Moo with me
moooo
Come on sir mooooo mooooo mooooo moooo moooo
MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
uh!
thank you
