She's taking her time making up the reasons
to justify all the hurt inside,
guess she knows from the smiles and the look in their eyes
everyone's got a theory about the bitter one;
they're saying, Mamma never loved her much
and, Daddy never keeps in touch
that's why she shies away from human affection,
but somewhere in a private place
she packs her bags for outer space
and now she's waiting for the right kind of pilot to come
and she'll say to him...

I would fly to the moon & back if you'll be...
if you'll be my baby,
got a ticket for a world where we belong
so would you be my baby?

She can't remember a time when she felt needed,
if love was red then she was color blind;
all her friends they've been tried for treason
and crimes that were never defined;
she's saying, Love is like a barren place,
and reaching out for human faith
is like a journey I just don't have a map for,
so baby's gonna take a dive and
push the shift to overdrive
send a signal that she's hanging all her hopes on the stars,
what a pleasant dream...

I would fly to the moon & back if you'll be...
if you'll be my baby,
got a ticket for a world where we belong
so would you be my baby?
