Baby, don’t pull up the anchor I ain’t had time to look ‘Cause there’s words in the lights of the city But they don’t stay put like a book Baby, just wait for a moment I’m trying to hear what they say ‘Cause somewhere far, far below us Someone’s talking ‘bout leaving L.A. In a moment, I’ll be up over the hill But right now, when the air is so still Oh, I gotta hold on We’re flying to close to the moon ‘Cause I got a makeshift spaceship that I made in my basement And I want you to come along And we’ll escape this place and go meteor chasin’ And I won’t ever do you wrong, I won’t ever, ever do you wrong Baby, just give me a second I know there’s a word for this smell If all that’s below us is burning, Then surely this place could be Hell Baby, I know you’ve been patient, But a feeling has crept in my chest Maybe we’re all little swallows Maybe this place is our nest In a moment we’ll soar away But come here and look at this place I gotta hold on Hold on We’re flying too close to the moon ‘Cause I got a makeshift spaceship that I made in my basement And I want you to come along And we’ll escape this place and we’ll make love weightless And I won’t ever do you wrong No, I won’t ever, ever do you wrong ‘Cause I got a makeshift spaceship that I made in my basement And I want you to come along I’ll give you Saturn’s ring and you won’t worry ‘bout a thing and I won’t ever do you wrong No, I won’t ever, ever do you wrong We’re flying too close to the moon ‘Cause I got a makeshift spaceship that I made in my basement And I want you to come along We’ll go to Jupiter’s storm and your arms will keep me warm and I won’t ever do you wrong No, I won’t ever, ever do you wrong ‘Cause I got a makeshift spaceship that I made in my basement And I want you to come along Our shouts of joy the only sounds in the void and I won’t ever do you wrong No, I won’t ever, ever do you wrong ‘Cause I got a makeshift spaceship that I made in my basement And I want you to come along We’re gonna get married like Pluto and Charon And I won’t ever do you wrong No, I won’t ever, ever do you wrong And I can’t find our house And I don’t know why But when I look at you I know It’s ‘cause I’m at home in the sky
