Dan Bern - Kababa lyrics

Back when the earth had two moons Back when the earth had two moons Baby, can you even remember That far back when the earth had two moons We sold it to the people of Kababa We sold it to the people of Kababa A medium sized planet in a small solar system in a very large galaxy just next door A medium sized planet in a small solar system in a very large galaxy just next door Go to Jupiter, take the first right, fly north north north for 30 billion light years Remember that space is curved and you can't miss it Remember that space is curved and you can't miss it Back when the earth had two moons It seemed as though eclipses were incessant Every seven years they were both full Sometimes when one was full the other was a crescent We sold it to the people of Kababa For the Berlin wall and all the tea in China For the gross national product of America For the cash crop of North Carolina Back when the earth had two moons Nobody had any money Nobody ever had a fever No one ever slept alone either Shoes were the only transportation No one ever heard of litigation There was hardly anybody who could spell But every body slept pretty well But we sold it to the people of Kababa For cars and roads and offices For Warner Brothers, Exxon and Sony For hamburger meat and baloney Ah, but now we're better off–don't you see With CNN on the TV Child hookers in the Philippines to screw me Karaoke for every wannabe We got fast food and condoms and hair spray We got the right to vote to take all of our rights away We got life and the means to spend it We've even got the bomb in case we want to end it But if you ever find yourself wishing The moon was back in its original position There's a rumor that the deal was never signed And Kababa isn't difficult to find Go to Jupiter, take the first right, fly north north north for 30 billion light years Remember that space is curved and you can't miss it Remember that space is curved and you can't miss it Back when the earth had two moons Back when the earth had two moons
