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
