Can we take the moon?
One day we’ll be able to
Can we just get out of here?
That would be alright with me dear
Get a house on the shore?
And a cabin in the woods for when we get bored
Then we’ll take the moon?
Yes, then we’ll take the moon
Can we take the sun? It’s just right there on the horizon
It don’t look too far away betcha we make it in half a day
Oh I did that once, I went around the world just chasing suns
You get close but they go down
So let’s just stick with the moon for now
We’ll call it home
Just like that?
Yes, call it home
And all alone?
No more knocks on the door, no more calls on the phone
Just me and you?
Just like that, one day soon we’re gonna take the moon
You think up in them stars we’ll be better than where we are?
I think up in that sky we’ll be better yes, you and I
We’ll smile when we look back down
And I’ll ask does my baby feel better now
And you’ll say yes oh I do
Oh I do oh baby yes I do
But what will we do you and I
When that moon looks like a lemon slice?
Looks like that don’t you think?
Like the kind they put in them fancy drinks?
We’ll do what we do now
When we walk on the corner of someway and somehow
And hope they don’t disappear
Oh how I hope they don’t disa...
Just like home, just like what we call home
All alone with all of our shit on the side of the road
Along with me and you. Just like that
