Valentines - Lily Maebelle lyrics

Rent Soundtrack, Cast Recording Over The Moon (The Lot) MARK Maureen's performance MAUREEN (in front of a microphone) 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've closed everything real down ... like barns, troughs, and Performance spaces ... And replaced it all with lies and rules and virtual life But there is a way out ... BACKUPS Leap of faith, leap of faith Leap of faith, leap of faith MAUREEN "Only thing to do is jump over the moon" I 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 find a way MAUREEN "To jump over the moon Only thing to do is jump over the moon" BACKUPS Leap of faith, etc MAUREEN Then a little bulldog entered. His name (we have learned) was Benny And although he once had principles He abandoned them to live as a lap dog to a wealthy daughter of the Revolution "That's bull," he said "Ever since the cat took up the fiddle, that cow's been jumpy And the dish and the spoon were evicted from the table -- and eloped She's had trouble with that milk and the 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 were down on their luck - knocked on my doghouse door I said, "Not in my backyard, utensils! Go back to China!" "The only way out is up," Elsie whispered to me "A leap of faith. Still thirsty?" she asked Parched. "Have some milk." I lowered myself beneath her and held my mouth to her swollen udder And s**ed the sweetest milk I'd ever tasted." (MAUREEN makes a slurping, s**ing sound.) "Climb on board," she said And as a harvest moon rose over Cyberland We reared back and sprang into a gallop Leaping out of orbit!!! I awoke singing BACKUPS Leap of faith, etc MAUREEN Only thing to do Only thing to do is jump Only thing to do is jump over the moon Only thing to do is jump over the moon Over the moon -- over the Moooooooo Moooooooo Moooooooo Moooooooo Moo with me (MAUREEN encourages the audience to moo with her. She says "C'mon, sir, moo with me," etc. The audience responds. When the "moos" reach a crescendo, she cuts them off with a big sweep of her Arms.) Thank you (Blackout.)
