This time each night, her voice will shout my name The tide is high, it's pulling the moon my way While my love waits up there hanging out in space She lives in craters, eatin' alien plants all day What is the distance to the moon anyway? I'm howlin' away You know me, I'm howlin' away The atmosphere can be an awful place I spread my wings until they make me burn and break This hopeless planet don't got much for me no more It's lonesome and it's empty, oh the one that I adore What is the distance to the moon anyway? I'm howlin' away You know me, I'm howlin' away And so I'll build a great big ladder up to you, my love And I will climb and climb and climb until I hold you in my arms Yet I keep on falling back to Earth I'm nothing but a dreamer What is the distance to the moon anyway? I'm howlin' away You know me, I'm howlin' away You know me, I'm howlin' away
