The news isn't getting any brighter
The death toll isn't getting any lighter
There's a dark [?] drifting overhead
With so many more people dead
Turn on the computer or the TV set
It's a world full of anger and death threats
What could happen if life could be supported somewhere else
Where things might be better sorted?
A place, where some could start a new, another way
To say we're not through
Despite all of the destruction, all the bad decisions made, all of the madness we could trade
For a place more remote than primate or penguin has ever been
There's a discovery, a silver lining for the clout
That has some folks singing out loud
There's water on the moon, way up there
Maybe you and I should go
Live on a frozen lake without a care
Looking down at the earth below
The cafes are all close, you won't miss the sight
Of someone bringing to your table a black white
We can still make espresso up there
In our bubbles breathing freshly manufactured air
When we go outside, we could jump so high
You speak into your mic, I hear your reply
We can look at the green earth, wish it well
From up in place that makes the waves swell
There's water on the moon, way up there
Maybe you and I should go
Live on a frozen lake without a care
Looking down at the earth below
[Instrumental]
Up there life is simple, just a couple distractions
Due a few of us to form a faction
We all practice great, lunar hygiene
All tested, cleared and quarantined
Go back to visit now and again
The land that we lived in way back then
Before the satellites found H2O
And some of us said: "Fuck it, let's go!"
There's water on the moon, way up there
Maybe you and I should go
Live on a frozen lake without a care
Looking down at the earth below
There's water on the moon, way up there
Maybe you and I should go
Live on a frozen lake without a care
Looking down at the earth below
There's water on the moon
The death toll isn't getting any lighter
There's a dark [?] drifting overhead
