Nobody Wants To Go To The Moon Anymore Lyrics - Translated From Love - Kelly Willis

Nobody Wants to Go to the Moon Anymore 

I don't know a soul that wants to visit the moon 

That bruise in the sky, that busted balloon 

A big rotten egg trashing up the sky 

A red-faced drunk with a hundred black eyes 

And nobody wants to go to the moon anymore 

Nobody climbs on that big rocketship 

They've all heard the stories of the turbulent trip 

The truckstop's abandoned, the cook broke the grill 

They kicked out the windows 

Tainted each thrill 

And nobody wants to go the moon anymore 

Your mother sailed to the moon on her senior trip 

You were a sprout in time, a smile on her lips 

She blew all her money the very first day 

On a fist full of trinkets your grandma threw away 

And nobody wants to see the stars that were cast 

Those black and white movies, the scenes from the past 

The drive-in's deserted, every speaker's been tossed 

The projector caught fire, every last frame was lost 

And nobody wants to go 

Nobody wants to go to the moon anymore 

Your father found work, he was raised on the midway 

He hustled toys night and day 

Kissed all the girls, won 'em all teddy bears 

Woke up with love in his pockets... and gum in his hair 

Oh, I don't know a soul that wants to visit the moon 

A dream left forgotten, it was conquered too soon 

Why waste your stamp on a postcard so cheap? 

Why take a step for mankind when the world's at your feet? 

And nobody wants to go 

Nobody wants to go 

Nobody wants to go to the moon anymore
