"Play On The Moon" lyrics

"Play On The Moon"

We were only 17
Yeah we knew what it was to be free
They'd let us play up in the bars even though we had no IDs
We've come a long way honey, I know
Thinking that time makes everything grow
But we were eyeing off a star just a little beyond our reach

We'd say someday
We're gonna play on the moon
We won't be afraid
We'll blow them all away
From the milky dunes
We'd say someday
We'll take off with our friends and get high
And they'll give us right of way
So we can make our waves up in the sky
Ooh

We were only 23
Had a crack at the Hollywood dream
But playing plastic with the stars
Wasn't all that we thought it'd be
We spent a long time, honey, I know
Chasing a rabbit down a dark hole
Somehow they took away the magic
And they packaged it up to be sold

But someday
We're gonna play on the moon
I promise we'll be safe
It's only outer space
There'll be loads of room
Yeah someday
We'll be dancing around in the sky
A galaxy to claim
A universe to paint
With our neon lights
Ooh ooh

We were kids, our hands were full of time
And all at once, we start to realise
These golden days don't last forever (forever)
So give love and grab it with both hands
And show up for every song
And dance while you still can

But someday
We're gonna play on the moon
We won't be afraid
We'll blow them all away
From the milky dunes
We'd say someday
We'll take off with our friends and get high
And they'll give us right of way
So we can make our waves up in the sky
Ooh ooh
