Lyrics Jeff Lynne - Ticket To The Moon

(Piano introduction)

Remember the good old nineteen eighty's
When things were so uncomplicated?
I wish I could go back there again
And everything could be the same...

I've got a ticket to the Moon -
I'll be leaving here any day soon -
Yeah, I've got a ticket to the Moon
But I'd rather see the sunrise
In your eyes.

Got a ticket to the Moon -
I'll be rising high above the Earth so soon,
And the tears I cry might turn into the ra-in
That gently falls upon your window -
You'll never know.

(Back vocals appears)

Ticket to the Moon (ticket to the Moon) -
Ticket to the Moo-u-un (ticket to the Moo-u-un) -
Ticket to the Moo-n (ticket to the Moo-n).

(Space sounds)

{Fly, fly through a troubled sky
Up to a new world shining bright, whoa-whoa!}

Flying high above,
Soaring madly through the mysteries that come,
Wondering sadly if the ways that led me here
Could turn around and I would see you there
(And I would see you there waiting) - standing there.

Ticket to the Moon -
Flight leaves here today from Satellite Two -
As the minutes go by what shall I do?
I paid the fare but what more can I say?
(What more can I say?)
It's just one way (it's only one way)!

(Two back tracks)

Ticket to the Moo-n
(Ticket to the Moon | ticket to the Moon) -
Ticket to the Moo-u-un
(Ticket to the Moon | ticket to the Moon) -
Ticket to the Moo-n
(Ticket to the Moon | ticket to the Moon).

(Synth solo, space sounds)

Ticket to the Moo-n
(Ticket to the Moon | ticket to the Moon) -
Ticket to the Moo-u-un
(Ticket to the Moo-u-un | ticket to the Moon) -
Ticket to the Moo-n
(Ticket to the Moon | ticket to the Moon).
Ticket to the Moo-n
(Ticket to the Moon | ticket to the Moon) -

Ticket to the Moo-n
(Ticket to the Moon | ticket to the Moon) -
Ticket to the Moo-u-un
(Ticket to the...)

(Space sounds)
