Sail to the Moon
Rockabye Baby! Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I Sucked The Moon
I Spoke Too Soon
And How Much Did It Cost?
I Was Dropped From Moonbeams
And Sailed On Shooting Stars
Maybe You'll
Be President
But Know Right From Wrong
Or In The Flood
You'll Build An Ark
And Sail Us To The Moon




Sail Us To The Moon
Sail To The Moon
