“Man on the Moon” lyrics

Houston, he’s a problem

He’s leaving then he’s calling

He’s a headache and a half, and I can’t win

Yeah, I need him long gone, running

Another town or state won’t cut it

He’ll find a way to come around again

And I don’t mean to be dramatic, yeah

But he’s the kind of man I’d like

A hundred thousand miles from here

‘Cause he wants me and he needs space

Someone take this cowboy away

Somewhere far, let him fly

Outta this world and off my mind

C’mon, there’s gotta be a rocket somewhere taking off soon

I think it’s time we put another man on the moon

We can tell him there’s a bar up there, and blondes for days

He’d say, “Well, where can I sign up?” and he’d be on his way

He’d be making history, and I might finally get some sleep

No further explanation, it’s a win-win situation

I don’t mean to be dramatic, but can somebody call NASA?

Or a billionaire with money to burn

‘Cause he wants me and he needs space

Someone take this cowboy away

Somewhere far, let him fly

Outta this world and off my mind

C’mon, there’s gotta be a rocket somewhere taking off soon

I think it’s time we put another man on the moon

Oh, yeah

A man on the moon, somebody get him there soon

No further explanation, it’s a win-win situation

‘Cause he wants me and he needs space

Someone take this cowboy away

Somewhere far, let him fly

Outta this world and off my mind

C’mon, there’s gotta be a rocket somewhere taking off soon

I think it’s time we put another man on the moon

Man on the moon

Man on the moon

A man on the moon
