Jonathan Larson Over The Moon
Maureen
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 obice walked a cow, Elsey
I asked if she had anything to drink she said
”I am forbidden to produce milk,
In Cyberland we only drink Diet Coke (Diet coke…Diet
coke…Diet coke)
She said
“Only thing to do is just over the moon”
They've closed everything real down
Like barns and troths and...
Performance Spaces
And replaced it all with lies and rules and
Virtual Life... But there is a way out
Back Ups
Leap of faith, leap of faith, leap of faith, leap of
faith
[continues in background]
Maureen
OOOOOOO
Only thing to do is jump over the moon
[back ups stop]
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 gotta gotta gotta gotta gotta gotta gotta gotta 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 was Benny
And although he once had principles he abounded them to
live as a lapdog to a wealthy daughter of the
revolution
1..2..3
That's bull he said
Ever since the cat took off with the fiddle that cows
been jumpy
And the dish and the spoon were evicted from the table
and eloped
She had trouble with the milk and that moon ever since
maybe it was a female thing
But who'd wanna leave cyberland anyways!
Walls ain't so bad
The dish and the spoon for instance their down on their
luck they come knockin' on my doghouse door
and i said "Not in my backward utensils, go back to
china!" (bideebong)
The only way out is up, Elsey whispered to me
A leap of faith
Still Thirsty?? Parched
Have some milk
As I lowered myself beneath her her swollen utter and
sucked the sweetest milk
I have 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
OOOOOO
Only thing to do
Only think 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 ...
Moon!
