Letra de 'Over The Moon (RENT)' de Idina Menzel

MAUREEN:

Last night I had a dream.
I found myself in a desert called Cyberland.
It was hot, my canteen had sprung a leak,
and I was thirsty.
Out of the abyss walked a cow - Elsie.
I asked if she had anything to drink.
She said:
"I'm forbidden to produce milk.
In Cyberland, we only drink Diet Coke".
(reverb: Coke, Coke, Coke)
She said:
"Only thing to do is jump over the moon
They've closed everything real down...
Like barns, troughs, performance spaces...
And replaced it all with lies and rules and virtual life. (reverb: Life, Life, Life)
But there is a way out..."

BACKUPS:
Leap of faith leap of faith
Leap of faith leap of faith

MAUREEN:
Only thing to do is jump over the moon...
I gotta get out of here!
It's like I'm being tied to
the hood of a yellow rental truck,
being packed in with fertilizer and fuel oil,
pushed over a cliff by a suicidal Mickey Mouse!
I've got to, got to, got to, got to [deep breath] got to, got to find a way...

To jump over the moon...
Only thing to do is jump over the moon!

BACKUPS:
Leap of faith, etc.

MAUREEN:
Then a little bulldog entered.
His name, we have learned, was Benny.
And although he once had principles,
he abandoned them to live as a lap dog
to a wealthy daughter of the revolution.
"That's bull," he said.
"Ever since the cat took up the fiddle
that cow's been jumpy.
And the dish and the spoon were evicted from the table, and eloped...
She's had trouble with that milk and the moon ever since. Maybe it's a female thing.
'Cause who'd want to leave Cyberland anyway?...
Walls ain't so bad.
The dish and the spoon for instance.
They were down on their luck -
Knocked on my doghouse door.
I said:
'Not in my backyard,utensils!
Go back to China!'"
"The only way out is up!", Elsie whispered to me
"A leap of faith... Still thirsty?", she asked.
Parched. (reverb: Parched, Parched, Parched)
"Have some milk."
And I lowered myself beneath her swollen udder,
and I sucked the sweetest milk I'd ever tasted.
(Maureen makes a sucking sound.)
"Climb on board," she said.
And as a harvest moon rose over Cyberland,
we reared back and sprang into a gallop, leaping out of orbit!

I awoke singing:
Oooooooh
Only thing to do...
Only thing to do is jump...
Only thing to do is jump over the moon
Only thing to do is jump over the moon
Over the moon
Over the moooooooo
Moooooooo
Moooooooo
Moo with me!

Mooo...

SOMEONE IN THE CROWD:
Moooo

MAUREEN:
Yes, who's that?
C'mon, moo with me!
C'mon, sir,
Don't be shy!
Moo with me!
Let it rip! Moooo!
(Crowd mooing)
Let it go New York City!
Moo, moo, moo, moo!!!
Thank you!
