Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Remember the good old 1980's
When things were so uncomplicated
I wish I could go back there again
And everything would be the same
[Verse 2]
I've got a ticket to the moon
I'll be leavin' here any day soon
Yeah, I've got a ticket to the moon
But I'd rather see the sunrise in your eyes
[Chorus]
Got a ticket to the moon
I'll be risin' high above the earth so soon
And the tears I cry might turn into the rain
That gently falls upon your window
You'll never know
[Refrain]
Ticket to the moon
Ticket to the moon
Ticket to the moon
[Verse 3]
Fly, fly through a troubled sky
Up to a new world, shining bright
Woah
[Verse 4]
Flyin' high above
Soarin' madly through the mysteries that come
Wonderin' sadly if the ways that led me here
Could turn around and I would see you there
And I would see you there, baby
Standin' there
[Chorus]
Ticket to the moon
Flight leaves here today from Satellite 2
As the minutes go by, what shall I do?
I paid the fare, what more can I say?
It's just one way
[Refrain]
Ticket to the moon
Ticket to the moon
Ticket to the moon
[Outro]
Ticket to the moon
Ticket to the moon
Ticket to the moon
Ticket to the moon
Ticket to the moon
Ticket to the moon
