this time each night her voice will shout my name the tide is high it s pulling the moon my way while my love waits up there hanging out in space she lives in craters eatin alien plants all day what is the distance to the moon anyway i m howlin away you know me i m howlin away the atmosphere can be an awful place i spread my wings until they make me burn and break this hopeless planet don t got much for me no more it s lonesome and it s empty oh the one that i adore what is the distance to the moon anyway i m howlin away you know me i m howlin away and so i build a great big ladder up to you my love and i will climb and climb and climb until i hold you in my arms yet i keep on falling back to earth i m nothing but a dreamer what is the distance to the moon anyway i m howlin away you know me i m howlin away you know me i m howlin away1
