Kelly Willis - Nobody Wants to Go to the Moon Anymore lyrics

I don't know a soul that wants to visit the moon That bruise in the sky, that busted balloon A big rotten egg trashing up the sky A red-faced drunk with a hundred black eyes And nobody wants to go Nobody wants to go to the moon anymore Nobody wants to ride on that big rocket ship To that stormy oasis, take that turbulent trip The truck stop's abandoned, the cook broke the grill They kicked out every window, tainted every cheap thrill And nobody wants to go Nobody wants to go to the moon anymore Your mother vacationed there on a senior trip You were just a spot in time, a smile on her lips She blew all her money that very first day On a fistful of trinkets your grandma threw away Nobody wants to see the stars that were cast All those black-and-white movies, those scenes from the past The drive-in's deserted, every speaker's been tossed The projector caught fire, every last frame was lost And nobody wants to go Nobody wants to go to the moon anymore Your father found work there, raising the midway He put that wheel in the air, hustled toys on the brew And he kissed all the girls, won 'em all teddy bears Woke up with love in his pockets and gum in his hair Nobody wants to ride that cannonball to the sky That bucket of bolts to those mansions on high Why waste a stamp on a postcard from the land of defeat Why waste a step for mankind when the world's at your feet And nobody wants to go Nobody wants to go Nobody wants to go to the moon anymore
