When The Earth Had Two Moons – Dan Bern – letras

Back when the earth had two moonsBack when the earth had two moonsBaby, can you even rememberThat far back when the earth had two moonsWe sold it to the people of KababaWe sold it to the people of KababaA medium sized planet in a small solar system in a very large galaxy just next doorA medium sized planet in a small solar system in a very large galaxy just next doorGo to Jupiter, take the first right, fly north north north for 30 billion light yearsRemember that space is curved and you can’t miss itRemember that space is curved and you can’t miss itBack when the earth had two moonsIt seemed as though eclipses were incessantEvery seven years they were both fullSometimes when one was full the other was a crescentWe sold it to the people of KababaFor the Berlin wall and all the tea in ChinaFor the gross national product of AmericaFor the cash crop of North CarolinaBack when the earth had two moonsNobody had any moneyNobody ever had a feverNo one ever slept alone eitherShoes were the only transportationNo one ever heard of litigationThere was hardly anybody who could spellBut every body slept pretty wellBut we sold it to the people of KababaFor cars and roads and officesFor Warner Brothers, Exxon and SonyFor hamburger meat and baloneyAh, but now we’re better off–don’t you seeWith CNN on the TVChild hookers in the Philippines to screw meKaraoke for every wannabeWe got fast food and condoms and hair sprayWe got the right to vote to take all of our rights awayWe got life and the means to spend itWe’ve even got the bomb in case we want to end itBut if you ever find yourself wishingThe moon was back in its original positionThere’s a rumor that the deal was never signedAnd Kababa isn’t difficult to findGo to Jupiter, take the first right, fly north north north for 30 billion light yearsRemember that space is curved and you can’t miss itRemember that space is curved and you can’t miss itBack when the earth had two moonsBack when the earth had two moons
