MAUREEN
Last night I had this 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".
(reverb: Coke, Coke, Coke)
She said
"Only thing to do is
Jump over the moon
They've closed everything real down...
Like barns, troughs, Performance spaces...
And replaced it all with lies and rules and virtual life. (reverb: Life, Life, Life) But there is a way out..."
BACKUPS
Leap of faith leap of faith
Leap of faith leap of faith
MAUREEN
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 gotta find a way
MAUREEN
To jump over the moon
Only thing to do is
Jump over the moon
BACKUPS
Leap of faith, etc.
MAUREEN
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.
And the dish and the 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?", she asked.
Parched.
"Have some milk."
I lowered myself beneath her swollen udder
And sucked the sweetest milk I'd ever tasted.
(MAUREEN makes a slurping, sucking sound.)
"Climb on board," she said. And as a harvest moon rose over Cyberland
We reared back
And sprang into a gallop Leaping out of orbit!
MAUREEN
I awoke singing
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 moooooooo
Moooooooo
Moooooooo
Moo with me
BACKUPS
Leap of faith, etc.
MAUREEN
"C'mon, sir, moo with me"
Thank you.
