If I Owned The Moon

Sometimes the moon is like 25 cents up in the sky
And it shines bright
And if I could reach it
I'd spend it
I'd buy a continent all for myself
With fir trees and hummingbirds and mountain lions

Sometimes the moon is like fingernails up in the sky
And I have to wonder
Who has been doing their personal hygiene
Up there?
What with the cost of flying a spaceship
And the size of those fingers

Tonight
On our way home
The moon was like a chunk of gold
Hanging just above the city
The air was so clear
I had to stop to think if there was anyone over there
Who I should call
To warn them
Don't go outside tonight
That thing could fall at any second
As for me I wouldn't want to be driving down Fairfax
When it came down BANG! on my roof
But if it did I guess I'd drive it to the bank
That much gold
It could buy a continent
And a spaceship
And a car with a brand new roof

Life would be so much different
If I owned the moon
