You asked me to a party To a place just by the moon You gave me silver loving The end was much too soon You asked me to a weekend In a cottage in the snow You gave me central heating I can't forget the glow Rope ladder Rope ladder Rope ladder to the moon You asked me to the theatre In a place quite near the sun You gave me golden sunbeams Your act was all in fun You asked me to a weekend
Down by the stormy sea You took to a ceremony And the sacrifice – was me You asked me to a stromcloud Up near the rainbow's end Then you threw away the ladder And gave me to your friend You took me to a prison And you said its chief was me Then you locked me deep inside you And threw away the key Rope ladder Rope ladder Rope ladder to the moon
