Song Lyrics

Last night, I had a 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, Elsey
I asked if she had anything to drink she said
I'm forbidden to produce milk
In Cyberland we only drink
Diet Coke (Diet Coke Diet Coke)
She said

Only thing to do is jump over the moon
They've closed everything real down like barns and troughs and
Performance spaces
And replaced it all with lies and rules and
Virtual life (life life)
But there is a way out (leap of faith leap of faith leap of faith leap of faith)

Ooh
"Only thing to do is jump over the moon"
I gotta get outta 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 gotta gotta gotta gotta gotta gotta gotta gotta gotta find a way
To jump over the moon only thing to do is jump over the moon

Then a little bulldog entered
His name we have learned is Benny
And although he once had principals he abandoned them
To live as a lapdog to a wealthy daughter of the revolution
A one two three "That's bull" he said
"Ever since the cat took up the fiddle that cow's been
Jumpy
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 wanna leave Cyberland anyway
Walls ain't so bad
The dish and the spoon for instance
They're down on their luck they come knockin' on my doghouse door and I say
'Not in my backyard utensils
Go back to China'"
(Bi-di-bong)
"The only way out is up"
Elsie whispered to me
"A leap of
Faith"
"Still thirsty?"
"Parched" (parched parched)
"Have some milk"
And I lowered myself beneath her swollen udder
And sucked the sweetest milk I had ever tasted
"Climb on board"
She said
And as a harvest moon rose over Cyberland
We reared back we sprang into a gallop, leaping, out of orbit, and I awoke singing
(Leap of faith leap of faith leap of faith leap of faith)
Ooh 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
Moo
Moo
Moo!
Moo with me
Please sir could you give me a little moo
Moo, yes, moo, yes, moo with me, moo
Yes moo with me
Yes it sounds beautiful
Moo, let me hear you New York City
Thank you
Moo
