we followed the yellow brick road
moon. but it didn’t end up
where we planned.

(Jane wants to blame Jim)
(but it wasn’t all him)
(and there’s no way to explain)
(all this sand…)

gonna drill us some holes in the ceiling
moon. and hang us some lamps
that remind us of you.

if there were no tomorrow
moon. if
there was only today—
we’d stay up all night
and follow you. we’d skip
all our chores
and play.

tails you get thinner
moon. heads you grow stout.
should we fill you all in…
or flatten you out?

might try that old key in a new lock
moon. you’ve been gone too long.
now you’re back too soon.

if the shoe fits you don’t havta wear it
moon. (but you might wanna buy it)
(in case someday you do…)

rosemary, parsley and chives
moon. we’re plantin some seeds
and hopin they grow.

banana without any skin
moon. let’s get some ice cream
and hot fudge on you.

gonna stretch out in you like a hammock
moon. and dream sleepy dreams
while we’re swingin in you.

we happen to think you’re just swell
moon. and we hope you’ll stay out
to enjoy the view.
