Nobody Wants To Go To The Moon Anymore Lyrics

I don't know a soul that wants to visit the moon
That bruise in the sky, that busted balloon
A big rotten egg trashing up the sky
A red-faced drunk with a hundred black eyes

And nobody wants to go
Nobody wants to go to the moon anymore

Nobody wants to ride on that big rocket ship
To that stormy oasis, take that turbulent trip
The truck stop's abandoned, the cook broke the grill
They kicked out every window, tainted every cheap thrill

And nobody wants to go
Nobody wants to go to the moon anymore

Your mother vacationed there on a senior trip
You were just a spot in time, a smile on her lips
She blew all her money that very first day
On a fistful of trinkets your grandma threw away

Nobody wants to see the stars that were cast
All those black-and-white movies, those scenes from the past
The drive-in's deserted, every speaker's been tossed
The projector caught fire, every last frame was lost

And nobody wants to go
Nobody wants to go to the moon anymore

Your father found work there, raising the midway
He put that wheel in the air, hustled toys on the brew
And he kissed all the girls, won 'em all teddy bears
Woke up with love in his pockets and gum in his hair

Nobody wants to ride that cannonball to the sky
That bucket of bolts to those mansions on high
Why waste a stamp on a postcard from the land of defeat
Why waste a step for mankind when the world's at your feet

And nobody wants to go
Nobody wants to go
Nobody wants to go to the moon anymore
