Trippin Over The Moon

Lyrics

[Mellow 4/4 sway — jangly 12-string guitar, Hammond organ swells, tambourine on the backbeat]
Verse 1 Dropped a little paper star beneath my tongue When the sunset melted and the day was done Now the streetlights shimmer like a wild typhoon And I'm tripping, tripping over the moon
Chorus Tripping over the moon (over the moon) Skipping through the Milky Way in my bare feet too Every color's calling, every star's in bloom Oh, I'm tripping over the moon
Verse 2 Trees are talking slowly in a shade of green Whispering the secrets of the in-between The sidewalk's breathing like a big balloon And I'm tripping, tripping over the moon
Chorus Tripping over the moon (over the moon) Skipping through the Milky Way in my bare feet too Every color's calling, every star's in bloom Oh, I'm tripping over the moon
Bridge [Half-time, dreamy — flute and sitar drift in] Hey diddle diddle, the cat and the fiddle The cow showed me how to jump clear over the riddle Turn off your mind, let your soul balloon One small step, and you're over the moon... (whispered) ...watch your step now...
Verse 3 Sunrise gonna find me with flowers in my hair Stardust in my pockets and love to spare I'll float on down by the light of noon But tonight I'm tripping over the moon
Final Chorus (everybody sing!) Tripping over the moon (over the moon) Skipping through the Milky Way in my bare feet too Every color's calling, every star's in bloom Oh, I'm tripping over the moon
Outro Over the moon... (over the moon) Catch me if you can... I'll be the one with the kaleidoscope tan... [Fades out with birdsong and backwards cymbals]
