lyrics
You got a one-way ticket out of this town.
You got a one-way ticket; that ship won’t turn around.
You’ve got a one-way ticket and there’s no coming back.
Oh no, I can’t believe it’s come to that.
Hey diddle diddle, that dish will be my spoon.
You jumped over the cow and the moon.
The signal’s clear from your satellite.
There’s no way that I’ll sleep tonight.
And your higher that mountains
and the clouds roll beneath your feet
and the moon rotates daily around a
home where we used to meet.
Twinkle twinkle, little red star
how I wonder how you really are,
up above my world so high.
I just can’t stop asking why.
A big rock weighed down on me,
eclipsed my ability to see
that things were going much worse for you.
Oh god, what did you have to go and do.
And how could you be so generous darling
and share your life with ten billion souls
and leave me here sitting watching it all,
all alone?
You left green light behind,
now there’s red light up ahead.
When you said “Forever” you meant, “While we’re in this world”.
That’s not the same as “Until we’re dead”.
I don’t really mind you following your dreams
and drifting away on milky way streams.
It just feels awful and nothing like reality
when it’s broadcast on 24-hour TV.
And your higher that mountains
and the clouds roll beneath your feet
and the moon rotates daily around a
home where we used to meet.
And how could you be so generous darling
and share your life with ten billion souls
and leave me here sitting watching it all,
all alone?
You got a one-way ticket; that ship won’t turn around.
You’ve got a one-way ticket and there’s no coming back.
Oh no, I can’t believe it’s come to that.
Hey diddle diddle, that dish will be my spoon.
You jumped over the cow and the moon.
The signal’s clear from your satellite.
There’s no way that I’ll sleep tonight.
And your higher that mountains
and the clouds roll beneath your feet
and the moon rotates daily around a
home where we used to meet.
Twinkle twinkle, little red star
how I wonder how you really are,
up above my world so high.
I just can’t stop asking why.
A big rock weighed down on me,
eclipsed my ability to see
that things were going much worse for you.
Oh god, what did you have to go and do.
And how could you be so generous darling
and share your life with ten billion souls
and leave me here sitting watching it all,
all alone?
You left green light behind,
now there’s red light up ahead.
When you said “Forever” you meant, “While we’re in this world”.
That’s not the same as “Until we’re dead”.
I don’t really mind you following your dreams

And your higher that mountains
and the clouds roll beneath your feet
and the moon rotates daily around a

And how could you be so generous darling
and share your life with ten billion souls
and leave me here sitting watching it all,
all alone?
