So you looked at the moon from your room one night
And you noticed it breaking up 
Maybe the moon knows something
Up in its orbit crumbling
So you pick up the phone and call her up

What do you find when she answers the line
But a guilty stammering
She says it’s over this time
So much for the solar system
Saturn casts away its rings

Neptune stands himself upright
And jupiter pokes out his red eye
He can sympathize
‘cause breakin’ up feels like crumbling skies

Now you’re alone and the clubs are your home 
From six pm ‘til two
Another bar another bad time
But then venus and mars align
You’re looking at her she’s looking at you

She’s got a star on the back of her sweater that’s red
Like a glass of pabst she goes to your head
But maybe the moon knows something
Up in its orbit mumbling

And before it was born the relationship’s dead
Venus puts her clothes back on
And mercury dives into the sun
Just like anyone
He knows romance is no fun

It’s no fun

So cursing orion, screaming and crying
You climb to the highest cliff
Then as if you’d sprouted wings
You dive out into the evening
But instead of falling your body lifts

The next thing you know your whole body’s aglow
As the world falls away
Like a teenage space station
You take your place among the constellations

Now you’re taking a sip from the milky way
