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



I would fly you to the moon and back

If you’ll be if you’ll be my baby

Got a ticket for a world where

we 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 colour-blind

All her friends they’ve been tried for treason

And crimes that were never defined

She’s saying

Love is like a barren place

And reaching out for human faith is 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

Mamma 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



I would fly you to the moon and back

If you’ll be if you’ll be my baby

Got a ticket for a world where

we belong

So would you be my baby

Ooh-ooh
