The Other Side of the Moon

Ground control searched for perfection-in-two
For this critical outer-space probe
They tested, selected - it's me and it's you
Orbiting over the globe
But procedure produced forbidden fruits
From all this compatibility
And I have a suggestion that perfectly suits
Our situation to a tee -

Let loose the brakes, and we'll break free
We'll reach escape velocity
Let's seize the day, get away
To the other side of the moon

The folks below, won't they be surprised
When we let go our earthly ties
Step on the gas, have a blast
On the other side of the moon

We'll settle. sooner or later,
In a crater I know
So snug in our igloo bungalow
Silvery moon-dust a-glitter
In the star glow
And we can make love oh so slow

Alone at last, so happily
Propelling past our apogee
The milky way lights our way
To the other side of the moon

We'll settle. sooner or later,
In a crater I know
So snug in our igloo bungalow
Not a molecule in between us
Down the rille, I know a gin mill,
Just a cozy cafe, where play a combo of castaways
Run away from the delta of Venus
ANd not an earthling's seen us

Go, our merry way
So fancy free
How could anybody know
Where we're gonna be?
So out of sight, on our flight
To the other side of the moon
