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 'bout the bitter one
They're saying:
Mum 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 a bag for outer space
And now she's waiting for the right kind of pilot to come
And she'll say to him

She's saying
I would fly you 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 needed
If love was red then she was colorblind
All her friends well 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
It's like a journey I just don't have a map for, so
Baby gonna take a dive and
Push shift to overdrive
She sends a signal that she's hanging all her hopes on the stars
What a pleasant dream

She's saying
I would fly you to the moon and 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?

Hold on
Hold on

Mum 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 a bag for outer space
And now she's waiting for the right kind of pilot to come
And she'll say to him

She's saying
I would fly you 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 you to the moon and 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?
