She's taking her time making up
the reasons
To justify all the hurt inside

Guess she knows from the smile
and the look in their eyes
Everyone's got a theory about the

bitter one
They're saying, "Mamma 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


[chorus:]


I would fly to the moon & 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's 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

[chorus ]


(hold on... hold on...)


Mamma 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

Just saying

[chorus twice ]
