savage garden – TO THE MOON & BACK

She’s taking her time making up the reasons
To justify all the hurt inside
Guess she knows from the smiles
And the look in their eyes
Everyone’s got a theory about the bitter one

They’re saying

Mama never loved her much
And daddy never keeps in touch
That’s why she shies away from human affection
But somewhere in a private place
She packs her bags for outer space
And now she’s waiting for
The right kind of pilot to come
(and she’ll say to him)

She’s saying

(chorus)
I would fly to the moon and back
If you’ll be, if you’ll be my baby
Got a ticket for a world where we all belong
So would you be my baby?

Ooh-ooh
She can’t remember a time
When she felt needed
If love was red then she was color-blind
All her friends they’ve been trialed for treason
And crimes that were never defined

She’s saying

Love is like a barren place
And reaching out for human faith
Is like a journey I just don’t have a map for
So baby gonna take a dive and
push the shift to overdrive
Send a signal that she’s hanging all her hopes on
the stars

(What a pleasant dream) just saying

I would fly to the moon and back
If you’ll be, if you’ll be my baby
Got a ticket for a world where we all belong
So would you be my baby?

[instrumental]

Mama never loved her much
And daddy never keeps in touch
That’s why she shies away from human affection
But somewhere in a private place
She packs her bags for outer space
And now she’s waiting for the right kind of pilot
To come (and she’ll say to him)

She’s saying

(repeat chorus)

yeah

[instrumental]
