Ticket to the Moon
LIVING ROOM - Electric Light Orchestra Lyrics

Remember the good old 1980's
Reflecting on a time when life was simpler and less complicated.

When things were so uncomplicated
Recalling a time when things were less complex and stressful.

I wish I could go back there again
Expressing a desire to return to a time of simple joys and fewer worries.

And everything could be the same
Longing for the familiarity and comfort of the past.

I've got a ticket to the moon
Having an opportunity to escape from the current reality.

I'll be leaving here any day soon
Planning to embark on a new journey soon.

Yeah, I've got a ticket to the moon
Reaffirmation of the escape plan and excitement for the journey.

But I'd rather see the sunrise, in your eyes
Acknowledging that the real treasure is in a loved one's company.

Got a ticket to the moon
Restating the plan to leave and escape from reality.

I'll be rising high above the earth so soon
Looking forward to a new perspective and a change of scenery.

And the tears I cry might turn into the rain
Anticipating sadness and tears on the journey.

That gently falls upon your window
Imagining a peaceful and beautiful scene.

You'll never know
Acknowledging that the loved one will never experience the same things.

Fly, fly through a troubled sky
Braving through turbulent times to reach a new destination.

Up to a new world shining bright, oh oh
Anticipating a new destination that is full of hope and promise.

Flying high above
Emphasizing the height of the flight above previous circumstances.

Soaring madly through the mysteries that come
Accepting the uncertainties that come along the new journey.

Wondering sadly if the ways that led me here
Reflecting on the path that led to the current moment.

Could turn around and I would see you there
Fantasizing about the chance to be reunited with a loved one.

Standing there (I would see you there)
Visualizing the loved one standing there in the destination.

Flight leaves here today from Satellite 2
Providing the logistical information about the journey.

As the minutes go by, what shall I do
Contemplating the idle time during the journey.

I paid the fare, what more can I say?
Acknowledging the commitment to embark on the journey and the monetary investment.

It's just one way
Accepting that the journey is irreversible and the escape is for good.

Ticket to the moon
Reiteration of the opportunity to escape.

Ticket to the moon
Reiteration of the opportunity to escape.

Ticket to the moon
Reiteration of the opportunity to escape.
