Lyrics

[Intro]

Hey

[Verse 1]

And she was lying in the grass

And she could hear the highway breathing

And she could see a nearby factory

She's making sure she is not dreaming

[PreChorus]

See the lights of a neighbor's house

Now she's starting to rise

Take a minute to concentrate

And she opens up her eyes

[Chorus]

The world was moving, she was

Right there with it and she was

The world was moving, she was

Floating above it and she was

And she was

[Verse 2]

And she was drifting through the backyard

And she was taking off her dress

And she was moving very slowly

Rising up above the Earth

[PreChorus]

Moving into the universe

And she's drifting this way and that

Not touching the ground at all

And she's up above the yard

[Chorus]

The world was moving, she was

Right there with it and she was (Hey, hey)

The world was moving, she was

Floating above it and she was (Hey, hey, hey)

[Bridge]

She was proud about it

No doubt about it

She isn't sure about

What she's done

No time to think about

What to tell him

No time to think about

What she's done and she was (Hey hey, hey hey, hey)

[Verse 3]

And she was looking at herself

And things were looking like a movie

She had a pleasant elevation

She's moving out in all directions

Oh, oh, oh

[Refrain]

Hey, hey, hey

Hey, hey, hey

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey

Hey, hey, hey, hey

Hey, hey, hey

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey

[Chorus]

The world was moving, she was

Right there with it and she was

Hey, woohoo

The world was moving, she was

Floating above it and she was

Hey, hey

[Chorus]

Joining the world of

Missing persons and, she was

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey

Missing enough to

Feel alright and she was

[Outro]

And she was

And she was

And she was

And she was

And she was

And she was

And she was

And she was
