She's taking her time making up the reasons To justify all the hurt inside Guess she knows from the smile 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 She's saying
[chorus:] 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 colour 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 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 Just saying
[chorus]
(hold on... hold on...)
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 Just saying
