lyrics

Jamie läuft zu dem Mond und kauft sich eine Karte zum Mondes Ballet. Ihr Kleid ist grün
if the clothes, they make the girl
then her clothes, they make her twirl
and spin
and fall
down
out of space
Mädchen, you yell to her, why'd you hide the moon?
she raised her voice to you and hit you with her shoe
she walks her own way
and she walks into the moon
