Straight To The Moon

You got lucky

Walking cross a crowded room

The cameras went from wide to zoom

And caught you in the act

Well now, you've got something

Something we could really use

If we could get you on the evening news

And spruce up the facts



We'd go straight to the moon

Planting the seeds

And then watching them bloom

But isn't it strange

What gets thrown up

Comes right back down again



Snuck out the back

With Nancy and the philistines

Quotes from Rolling Stone magazine

Dribble from her mouth

Oh now, please don't tell me

Let me have this one surprise

If I come back a million years from now

Can I keep my scalp



I go straight to the moon

Planting the seeds

And then watching them bloom

But isn't it strange

Once it goes out

It comes right back again

Ooh, we go straight through the moon

Turn on the tv and you're in the cartoons

Ooh, but isn't it strange

Once it goes out

It comes right back again Your co-conspirators

Open up the secret door

And now the truth is out

What are we gonna do about it



I'm not much on second hand information

Sycophantic recreations

Have been down with the smile

Now I rolled up my sleeves

And took off my good shoes

You can't get in and get loose

Without getting dirt in your eyes



Ooh, you go straight to the moon

Planting the seeds

And then watching them bloom

Ooh, isn't it strange

Once it goes up

It comes back down again

Ooh, it's too much too soon

Turn on the tv and I'm in the cartoons

Ooh, isn't it strange

What gets thrown up

Comes right back down again



Ooh

Ooh, straight to the moon

Turn on the tv and there's a cartoon

If it makes you happy
