Over The Moon

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"

She said, "Only thing to do

Is jump over the moon"

"They've 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 fate, leap of fate

Leap of fate, leap of fate

"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 fertilizer and fuel oil"

"Pushed over a cliff by

A suicidal Mickey Mouse

I've got to, got to, got to find a way"

"To jump over the moon

Only thing to do

Is jump over the moon"

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"

"The dish and spoon

Were evicted from the table and eloped

She's had 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 on 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 of faith"

"Still thirsty?"

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

We sprang into a gallop

Leaping out of orbit

I awoke singing

Leap of fate, leap of fate

Leap of fate, leap of fate

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

Moo, moo, moo

Moo with me

Come on sir, moo with me

Moo, moo, moo, moo

Thank you
