Over The Moon

(专辑： Rent (Original Broadway Cast Recording) - 1996)

[MAUREEN:]
Last night, I had a dream
I found myself in a desert called: Cyberland
It was hot, my canteen had sprung a leak and I was thirsty

Out of the abyss walked a cow, Elsie
I asked if she had anything to drink
She said, I'm forbidden, to produce milk. In Cyberland we only drink
DIET COKE

She said, Only thing to do is jump over the moon
They closed everything real down
Like barns and troughs and performance spaces
And replaced it all with lies and rules and virtual life

But there is a way out
(Leap of faith, leap of faith)
Ooh (leap of faith, leap of faith)
Only thing to do is jump over the moon (leap of faith, leap of faith, leap of faith, leap of faith)

I've gotta get out of here
It's like I'm being tied to the hood of a yellow rental truck
Being packed in with fertilizer, and fuel oil
Pushed over a cliff by a suicidal Mickey Mouse
I've gotta
Gotta...

Find a way, to jump over the moon

Only thing to do is jump over the moon

Then, a little bull dog entered
His name, we have learned, was Benny
And although he once had principles
He abandoned them to live as a lapdog to a wealthy daughter of the revolution

"Uh one two three that's bull" he said
Ever since that cat took up the fiddle that cow's been jumping
The dish and the spoon were evicted from the table and eloped
She's had trouble with the milk and that moon ever since
Maybe it's a... female thing

Cause who'd want to leave Cyberland anyway?
Walls ain't so bad
The dish and the spoon for instance, they're down on their luck
They come knocking on my doghouse door and I say
"NOT IN MY BACKYARD, UTENSILS, GO BACK TO CHINA!"

The only way out is up
Elsie whispered to me, "A leap of faith"
Sill thirsty... parched, have some milk
And I lowered myself beneath her and held my mouth to her swollen udder
And I sucked the sweetest milk I have ever tasted (slurp)
"CLIMB ONBOARD!" she said

And as a harvest moon rose over Cyberland, we reared back
We sprang into a gallop
Leaping, out of orbit, I awoke singing

(Leap of faith, leap of faith)
Ooh... (leap of faith, leap of faith)
Only thing to do, only thing to is jump (leap of faith, leap of faith, leap of faith, leap of faith)
Only thing to do is jump over the moon (leap of faith, leap of faith, leap of faith, leap of faith)
Only thing to do is jump over the moon (leap of faith, leap of faith, leap of faith, leap of faith)
Over the moon (leap of faith, leap of faith)
Over the moo... (leap of faith, leap of faith)
Moo...
Moo...

Moo with me
Moo
Come on sir moo...
Uh!
Thank you
