Over The Moon Lyrics - Rent - Rent

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 abyss 

Walked a cow, Elsie 

I asked if she had 

Anything to drink 

She said, "I'm forbidden 

To produce milk 

In Cyberland, we only drink 

Diet Coke" 

She said, "Only thing to do 

Is jump over the moon" 

"They've closed everything 

Real down" 

"Like barns and troughs 

And performance spaces 

And replaced it all with lies 

And rules and virtual life 

But there is a way out" 

(Leap of faith, leap of faith 

Leap of faith, leap of faith) 

"Only thing to do 

Is jump over the moon 

I gotta get out of 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've got to, got to, got to 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 abandoned them 

To live as a lap dog 

To a wealthy daughter 

Of the Revolution 

Ah-one-two-three 

"That's bull," he said 

"Ever since the cat 

Took up the fiddle 

That cow's been jumpy" 

"The dish and spoon 

Were evicted from the table and eloped 

She's had trouble with that milk 

And the moon ever since 

Maybe it's a female thing" 

"'Cause who'd want to leave 

Cyberland anyway? 

Walls ain't so bad 

The dish and the spoon for instance" 

"They were down on their luck 

Knocked on my doghouse door" 

I said, "Not in my backyard, utensils 

Go back to China" 

(Be-de-bong) 

"The only way out is up" 

Elsie whispered to me 

"A leap of faith" 

"Still thirsty?" 

Parched. 

"Have some milk" 

I lowered myself beneath her 

And held my mouth 

To her swollen udder 

And sucked the sweetest milk 

I'd 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 

(Leap of faith, leap of faith 

Leap of faith, leap of faith) 

Only thing to do 

Only thing 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 

Moo, moo, moo 

Moo with me 

Come on sir, moo with me 

Moo, moo, moo, moo 

Thank you
