Lyrics

The man in the moon
He'd like to hide from ya
He's a sneaky little fella
The cloud in the sky
he'd like to rain on ya
when you forgot your umbrella

and if you could be everywhere and every time at the same time
do you think that it would change a thing?

The girl in the bar
she'd like to infect you
but it's only if you let her
the man in the moon
he'd like to hear from you
you should write him a letter

and if you knew about every thing that's ever gonna come
do you think that it would change a thing?

and if god exists does that make you the devil don't worry babe cuz we're all on the level because,
because I'm broke

the give of breath
finally disowned you
only wanted you to thank him
the angel of death
probably come for ya
but I bet that you could take him

and if you could be every where and every time at the same time
do you think it wouldn't change a thing?

and if the world stops spinning when the sun goes down
yeah maybe take your baby cuz you gotta get down
just because
because I'm .....
because we're ....
because you're you
because you're you
because you're you
