Lyrics

So they left me sitting here I saw them talking with themselves About the way, about the way I would hopefully be found Then they crouched down nice and low And they whispered in my ear About the land, about the land that would have me in the end My mother whispered to me again Goodbye, my love This is where I disappear Remember to drink and eat Make your transmissions religiously And a ship will come for you, I swear Just keep your blanket on the moon She said the Earth is right there, a mere light-second away And the humans all look up in the most peculiar way With that she brushed the moon dust off and turned to hide her tears "Are you coming back?" I asked She said it could be years, that I should get some rest And she tucked me in for the last time as her heart broke in her chest Goodbye, my love This is where I disappear Remember to drink and eat Make your transmissions religiously And a ship will come for you, I swear Just keep your blanket on the moon A better life awaits you I'll be right there As you're shacked up against the moon And I'll be right there I'll be your blanket on the moon The day a ship came, I was thrilled to see the light And I waved with all my heart to show the humans I was alright But as the ship got closer, it wasn't the kind that lands More the kind that comes from an air missile defense Just as I felt the first shock from the supersonic front I was catapulted into space by the exothermic guns And I hope I find someone soon Someone who won't destroy the moon And all my wounds are cauterized No xenophobic enterprise And I'll be right there When you're shacked up against the moon And I'll be right there But now I'm reaching out again I'm reaching out again I'm reaching out for someone to help me down I'm reaching out again I'm reaching out again For someone to help me out I'm reaching out again I'm reaching out again I'm reaching out for someone to help me down I'm reaching out again I'm reaching out again And I hope I find someone soon Someone who won't destroy the moon And all my wounds are cauterized No xenophobic enterprise And I'll be right there When you're shacked up against the moon And I'll be right there And I'll be right there I'm the only one true moon And I'll be right there Last thing I remember, I grabbed onto a microsphere And I must have been talking in my sleep to all those who could hear 'Cause I woke up in mid-conversation with These little critters in formal dress And they motioned for me to come as if I'd already said yes They said I was lucky to be alive They did not think anything survived Goodbye, my love This is where I disappear Remember to drink and eat Make your transmissions religiously And a ship will come for you, I swear Just leave your blanket on the moon
