What's Next To The Moon
AC/DC · Powerage [1978]
what's next to the moon / ac/dc
Well I tied my baby to the railroad track
Cannonball down the line
Giving that woman just a one more chance
To give it to me one more time
Engineer wishing he was home in bed
Dreaming about Casey Jones
Wide-eyed woman lookin' a mile ahead
Thinking about broken bones
CHORUS:
It's her love that I want
It's her love that I need
It's her love got to have
It's her love
Heavenly body flying across the sky
Superman was out of town
Come on honey, gotta change your tune
Cause it's a long way down
Clark Kent looking for a free ride
Thinking about Lois Lane
It's a bird, it's a plane, it's - a suicide
And that'd be a shame
CHORUS
Long Arm looking for a fingerprint
Trying to find the mystery clue
Hitting me with the third degree
Working on a thumb screw
Alright, officer, I confess
Everything's coming back
I didn't mean to hurt that woman of mine
It was a heart attack
CHORUS
What's next to the moon?
Well I tied my baby to the railroad track
Cannonball down the line
Giving that woman just a one more chance
To give it to me one more time
Engineer wishing he was home in bed
Dreaming about Casey Jones
Wide-eyed woman lookin' a mile ahead
Thinking about broken bones
CHORUS:
It's her love that I want
It's her love that I need
It's her love got to have
It's her love
Heavenly body flying across the sky
Superman was out of town
Come on honey, gotta change your tune
Cause it's a long way down
Clark Kent looking for a free ride
Thinking about Lois Lane
It's a bird, it's a plane, it's - a suicide
And that'd be a shame
CHORUS
Long Arm looking for a fingerprint
Trying to find the mystery clue
Hitting me with the third degree
Working on a thumb screw
Alright, officer, I confess
Everything's coming back
I didn't mean to hurt that woman of mine
It was a heart attack
CHORUS
What's next to the moon?
What's Next To The Moon
Released on the 1978 album Powerage, 'What's Next To The Moon' stands as a defining track in AC/DC's evolution toward a heavier, more polished hard rock sound. The song features the band's signature driving rhythm section and Angus Young's energetic guitar work, blending the raw energy of their earlier hits with the refined production of the late 70s. As part of their extensive discography, this recording exemplifies the band's ability to craft anthemic rock songs that balance aggression with melodic appeal. It remains a staple of their live performances and a key example of the Australian hard rock style that influenced countless subsequent artists.
