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, Elsie
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
But there is a way out

Leap of fate, leap of fate
Leap of fate, leap of fate

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 got to, got to, got to, got to
Got to, got to, got to, got to, got to, got to 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
Was Benny

And although he once had principles
He abandoned them
To live as a lap dog 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 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're down on their luck, they come knockin' on my doghouse door
And 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?

Parched
Have some milk
And I lowered myself beneath her
And held my mouth to 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, I awoke singing

Leap of fate, leap of fate
Leap of fate, leap of fate

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

Come on sir, moo with me
Moo, moo, moo, moo
Thank you
