Emmy The Great - Chang-E lyrics

There's more to life than New York City
As I climb ten thousand steps
Up to the temple
I begin to believe that this journey would
Be easier if I wasn't so literal

While I'm gone look after yourself
I don't want to hear reports that
You are lonely
And if you see the moon over some avenue
Think of me, think of me

You once told me about the moon
And the first men to walk on her
How they saw the viеw of
The oceans without water
Thеy were searching for a Chinese queen
Couple of salesmen trying to ship
An American dream

(She went to bed, like what do you mean?)

When we achieve weightlessness
We'll fly into the air like Chang-E
Look down on a beam to
The places that we've been

You once told me about the moon
And the first men to walk on her
How they came to love the view
Of the oceans without water
They keep on searching for a Chinese queen
Couple of salesmen trying to ship
Themselves from this dream

(She went to bed like where have you been?)

Where have you been?
Where have you been all of my life?
Were you moonwalking?
Convincing the sky to give you it's light
With your smooth talking?
Where have you been all of my life?
Were you moonwalking?
Convincing the sky to give you it's light
With your smooth talking?

(When we achieve weightlessness
When we achieve weightlessness
When we achieve weightlessness)
