He wishes he could fly away

From all his yesterdays


If he could, he would gladly pay


For a one way ticket to the moon




All his friends try to straighten him out


I could hear him scream and shout

The walls were thin and he was pacing about


He was waiting


For a one way ticket to the moon




I can hear him climbing the wall


He won't see callers and he can't take calls

He wants his privacy but most of all


He wants a one way ticket to the moon


Some people can't see beyond their head

Some people think they'd be better off dead


He kept saying somewhere he'd read about


One way ticket

One way ticket


One way ticket to the moon




That guy next door


He's a lot like me


He's got a lot of history

But I know you can't get nothing for free


Not even a one way ticket to the moon
