Moon Rocks

Flying saucers, levitation

Yo! I could do that

Get ready, for heavy duty

Go one, give it a chance

I saw your hair start to curl

So get up, write it down

You better wait for a while

So take your hands out of your pockets

And get your face adjusted

I heard it, somebody lied

And I'm staring out the window

Gonna let this thing continue

In it's natural time

Roundheads squareheads

Get settled in

You can hear my belly rumble

There's a voice that starts to mumble

Woo! It's starting to sing

Protons, neutrons

I ate a rock from the moon

Got shicked once; shocked twice

Let's see, what it can do

Man in the moon, moon in the man

I got a rock in my throat

Upside, up side down

My tummy start to talk . . . (what it say?)

Gonna rock it 'till I shock it

Gonna kick it 'till I drop it

Woo! Love at first sight

You can kick it, You can poke it

Ooh, I think you broke it

What about that!

Skin from a snake, blood from a stone

You know, that ain't no lie

I got hundreds of expressions

Try to make a good impression

Woo! Right between the eyes

I don't mind - let me go

Sounds inside - I don't know

Let me be - why not stay

I feel numb - let me play

I got wild imagination

Talkin' transubstantiation

Any version will do

I got mass communication

I'm the human corporation

I ate a rock from the moon

Moon in the rock, rock in the moon

There's a moon in my throat

You might think I'm wasting time

You might laugh but not for long

Hey! I'm working it out . . . (work it out)

I don't mind - let me go

Sounds inside - I don't know

Let me be - why not stay

I feel numb - let me play
