Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I scratched a ticket with a leg of a cricket
And I got triple Jesus
Cashed it in for a Siamese twin
At the family firing range
[Verse 2]
I went to bed and woke up inside another man's head
Nobody noticed
I'm so excited, the senator's a fighter
Don't tell me nothing's changed
[Verse 3]
Return to the moon
I'm dying
Return to the moon
Please
[Verse 4]
I bought a saltwater fish from a colorblind witch
'Cause she said she loved it
I couldn't tell her the part that would break her heart
But it loved me
[Verse 5]
She said, I think you're getting too far
From your family's house to find it
You should know, if you're running away
And I touch you, you freeze
[Verse 6]
Return to the moon
I'm dying
Return to the moon
Please
[Verse 7]
Return to the moon
I'm dying
Return to the moon
Please
[Verse 8]
Don't make me wait for you
At the corner of Eden Park
Don't make me wait for you
At the Serpentine Wall
[Verse 9]
Wish I could've been there
When you were driving away for California
If you gotta go somewhere
Then you better go somewhere far
[Verse 10]
Did you really think I could ever go on without you?
I'm not a genius
I imagine myself being cool
In the backseat of your car
[Verse 11]
Return to the moon
I'm dying
Return to the moon
Please
[Verse 12]
Return to the moon
I'm dying
Return to the moon
Please
[Verse 13]
Don't make me wait for you
At the corner of Eden Park
Don't make me wait for you
At the Serpentine Wall
