lyrics

The moon is hollow

The spaceship landed and everyone was happy
The captain of the astronauts then opened up the door
He looked kinda pale, shook his head,
and then he stumbled down the stairs
Got unconscious and fell right on the floor
The people on the tarmac all rushed to help him up
They got him on his feet
He was ok, but still he looked quite shocked
Then they brought him before the running camera
He grabbed the mic and said to the crowd that

The moon is hollow and inside there’s an alien drinking tea and watching us sleep
He’s growing rocks in a pale blue cave and listens to the sound of the stars

The crowd went quiet and just stared at the captain.
He stared right back and then he went on with his tale.
“The close encounter with the alien was not a big success
And further missions probably would fail.
We landed on the moon, but it was hollow, so of course
It went off like a bell, and it kept ringing, making lots of noise
So the alien got an headache and got angry
And this is why we had to leave in a hurry.

I think we ‘d better stay on Earth
We have so much to do here, so much to care for
There’s no need to find another home
There’s no place we should go to
We can embrace the night and look at the stars
And look at the silver moon above
Dream of what will come.”
