You got lucky
|
Walking cross a crowded room
|
The cameras went from wide to zoom
|
And caught you in the act
|
Well now, you've got something
|
Something we could really use
|
If we could get you on the evening news
|
And spruce up the facts
|
|
We'd go straight to the moon
|
Planting the seeds
|
And then watching them bloom
|
But isn't it strange
|
What gets thrown up
|
Comes right back down again
|
|
Snuck out the back
|
With Nancy and the philistines
|
Quotes from Rolling Stone magazine
|
Dribble from her mouth
|
Oh now, please don't tell me
|
Let me have this one surprise
|
If I come back a million years from now
|
Can I keep my scalp
|
|
I go straight to the moon
|
Planting the seeds
|
And then watching them bloom
|
But isn't it strange
|
Once it goes out
|
It comes right back again
|
Ooh, we go straight through the moon
|
Turn on the tv and you're in the cartoons
|
Ooh, but isn't it strange
|
Once it goes out
|
It comes right back again
|
|
Your co-conspirators
|
Open up the secret door
|
And now the truth is out
|
What are we gonna do about it
|
|
I'm not much on second hand information
|
Sycophantic recreations
|
Have been down with the smile
|
Now I rolled up my sleeves
|
And took off my good shoes
|
You can't get in and get loose
|
Without getting dirt in your eyes
|
|
Ooh, you go straight to the moon
|
Planting the seeds
|
And then watching them bloom
|
Ooh, isn't it strange
|
Once it goes up
|
It comes back down again
|
Ooh, it's too much too soon
|
Turn on the tv and I'm in the cartoons
|
Ooh, isn't it strange
|
What gets thrown up
|
Comes right back down again
|
|
Ooh
|
Ooh, straight to the moon
|
Turn on the tv and there's a cartoon
|
If it makes you happy
|
