She's taking her time making up the reasons
To justify all the hurt inside, guess she knows
From the smiles and the look in their eyes
Everyone's got a theory about the bitter one, they're saying

Mama never loved her much and
Daddy never keeps in touch
That's why she shies away from human affection, but

Somewhere in a private place
She packs her bags for outer space
And now she's waiting for the right kind of pilot to come

And she'll say to him (She's saying)

[Chorus]
I would fly you to the moon and back
If you'll be if you'll be my baby
I've got a ticket for a world where we belong
So would you be my baby

She can't remember a time when she felt needed
If love was red then she was color-blind, all her friends
They've been tried for treason
And crimes that were never defined

She's saying, love is like a barren place
And reaching out for human faith is
Is like a journey I just don't have a map for
So baby gonna take a dive and push the shift to overdrive
Send a signal that she's hanging all her hopes on the stars

What a pleasant dream (just saying)

[Chorus: x2]

Mama never loved her much
And daddy never keeps in touch
That's why she shies away from human affection

But somewhere in a private place
She packs her bags for outer space
And now she's waiting for the right kind of pilot to come

And she'll say to him (she's saying)

[Chorus: x2]
