Lyrics

She's   her time
Making up the  
To justify all the   inside
Guess she  
From the smiles and the look in their  
Everyone's got a theory about the   one

They're saying, "Mama never loved her much
And daddy never keeps in touch
That's why she   away from human affection
But somewhere in a private place
She packs her   for outer space
And now she's waiting for
the right kind of   to come"
And she'll say to him
She's sayin'

"I would fly to the moon and back if you'll be
If you'll be my baby
I've got a ticket for a world where we belong
So would you be my baby?"

She can't remember a time
When she felt  
If love was   then she was color blind
All her  
Well they've been tried for treason
And   that were never defined

She's saying, "Love is like a barren place
And   out for human faith is
It's like a   I just don't have a map for
So baby's gonna take a dive and a
Push the shift to  
Send a signal
that she's hanging all her   on the stars
What a pleasant dream"
She's sayin'

"I would fly to the moon and back if you'll be
If you'll be my baby
I've got a ticket for a world where we belong
So would you be my baby?"

Hold on, hold on

"Mama 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
She's sayin'

"I would fly to the moon and back if you'll be
If you'll be my baby
I've got a ticket for a world where we belong
So would you be my baby?"

"I would fly to the moon and back if you'll be
