Lyrics
Life On The Moon
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Maybe someday we can live on the moon
Milk in our eyes and the coffee cups too
If we behave, play our cards right
Moon'll be our fortune tonight
Frequency of traditional child
Ignition becomes a spark of disguise
Where we are from, where we begin
Philosophy on paper napkin
Dutiful daughter never wanted to fly
She swims through the air like she swims through the sky
Waves of phosphor, waves of grace
Lights on a square and lights on her face
Saturn returns and mercury slaves
Atoms transmit to gravity's play
Dutiful daughter never wanted to fly
She swims through the air like she swims through the sky
Maybe someday we can live on the moon
But because we can, doesn't mean we have to
Astronauts come, rockets will go
Nothing so precious as what we don't know
We know too much!
We have to find it ourselves!
