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
about the bitter one
They're saying
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 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
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 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
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
be my baby
