He wishes he could fly away

 From all his yesterdays

 If he could, he would gladly pay

 For a one way ticket to the moon

 All his friends try to straighten him out

 I could hear him scream and shout

 The walls were thin and he was pacing about

 He was waiting

 For a one way ticket to the moon

 I can hear him climbing the wall

 He won’t see callers and he can’t take calls

 He wants his privacy but most of all

 He wants a one way ticket to the moon

 Some people can’t see beyond their head

 Some people think they’d be better off dead

 He kept saying somewhere he’d read about

 One way ticket

 One way ticket

 One way ticket to the moon

 That guy next door

 He’s a lot like me

 He’s got a lot of history

 But I know you can’t get nothing for free

 Not even a one way ticket to the moon
