HALFWAY TO THE MOON

 

WELL, WE’D BEEN RIDING ON A ROAD ONE NIGHT

ON TOWARD THE BIG AND SHINY SATELLITE

AFTER THE TWO OF US HAD BROKEN THROUGH OUR OWN COCOONS

 

ABOUT A HUNNID THOUSAND MILES WENT BY

AND IT WAS THEN WE SORTA REALIZED

THE FACT WE HADN’T EVEN MADE IT HALFWAY TO THE MOON

 

SHE SAID, “THE ONLY THING MATTERS ON A TRIP LIKE THIS

IS THAT THE WHEELS KEEP A ROLLING ALONG

AND HOW YOU NEVER FORGET ANY WORDS

TO A FAVORITE SONG”

 

MAN, IT CAN SOMETIMES FEEL

AS THE TIME BLOWS BY

LIKE WE’RE GETTING PRETTY NOWHERE FAST

BUT IF WE KEEP IT TOGETHER

THE CAR NEVER RUNS OUTTA GAS (NEVER RUNNING OUTTA GAS)

 

THERE’S STILL A REAL LONG WAY TO GO

ABOARD A SHIP INTO THE LUNAR SHOW

BUT WE SHOULD TAKE IT REAL SLOW SO TO NOT ARRIVE TOO SOON

AND MAYBE FIND ANOTHER WORLD BEYOND OUR LITTLE COCOONS

RIGHT NOW WE’RE HAPPY TO BE ABOUT HALFWAY TO THE MOON
