Clouds Across the Moon Lyrics

INTRO

"Good evening. This is the intergalactic operator. Can I help you?"
"Yes. I'm trying to reach flight commander P.R. Johnson, on Mars, flight 2-4-7"
"Very well, hold on please [beeping] you're through!"
"Thank you operator!"

VERSE 1 :

Hi darlin'! How are you doing?
Hey baby, were you sleeping?
Oh I'm sorry, but I've been really missing you!

Hi darlin'! How's the weather?
Say baby, is that cold better now?
Oh I'm sorry, is there someone there with you??

BRIDGE:

Ooooh... since you went away, there's nothing goin' right!
I just can't sleep alone at night... I'm not ashamed to say
I badly need a friend... or it's the end.

CHORUS:

Now, when I look at the cloud's across the moon
Here in the night I just hope and pray that soon
Oh baby, you'll hurry home to me.

VERSE 2 :

Hi darlin', the kids say they love you.
Hey baby, is everything fine with you?
Please forgive me, but I'm trying not to cry...

BRIDGE :

Ooooh... I've had a million different lovers on the phone
But I'll just stay right here at home.
I don't think that I can take it anymore
This crazy war.

CHORUS

"I'm sorry to interrupt your conversation, but we are
Experiencing violent storm conditions in the asteriod belt at this
Time. We may lose this valuable deep space communication link.
Please, be as brief as possible.
Thank you."

BRIDGE

Or it's... it's..."Hello? Hello operator? Yes, we seem to have lost the connection! Could you try again please?"
-"I'm sorry, but I'm afraid we have lost contact with Mars 2-4-7 at this time."

CHORUS repeat 3 times WHILE SAYING:

"Ok, but thank you very much...
I'll...I'll try again next year...next year...next year...next year..."
