Howling At the Moon

Tripping thru the cosmos just the other afternoon I saw Cleopatra dancing on the dark side of the moon I stopped by just to say hi and she met me with a smile and we rode cross the Sea of Tranquility on her favorite crocodile I told her it was getting late and I really had to fly Then I floated off to Jupiter when Europa caught my eye She's looking especially bright tonight as she crosses Callisto's path magnificently steller at four billion and a half The power of the universe the secret of the grail the mystery of all life itself it's all there in your head everything is everything and everything is one we're just billion year old carbon floaties dancin in the sun I nod my head and tip my hat and bid to them adieu so many things to see and do before this trip is thru I'll skate on the rings of Saturn I will swim in Neptune"s seas I'll sip champagne from the Big Dipper as I dance with Pleiades and when this trip is over and I come down way too soon I'll kneel beside Lon Chaney Jr. and we'll both howl at the moon The power of the universe the secret of the grail the mystery and the majesty it's right there in your head everything is everything and everything is one we're just billion year old carbon floaties dancin in the sun
