would you light my candle?

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, Elsey. I asked if she had anything to drink, she said "The only thing to do is jump over the moon. They've closed everything real down, like barns and trophs and... performin' spaces,and replaced it all with lies and rules and virtual life... But there is a way out... OOOOOOOh, only thing to do is jump over the moon."

I gotta get outta 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 gotta gotta gotta gotta gotta gotta gotta gotta gotta gotta find a way... to jump over the moon.

Only thing to do is jump over the moon.

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 lapdog to a wealthy daughter of the revolution... 1..2..3... That's bull he said. Ever since the cow took off with the fiddle, that cow's been jumpy and the dish and the spoon were evicted from the table and eloped and she had trouble with the milk and the mood ever since... maybe it was a female thing. But who'd wanna leave cyberland anyways! Bulls ain't so bad! The dish and the spoon for instance, they're down on their luck they come knockin' on my doghouse door, and I said "Not in my backyard utensils, go back to china!"

"The only way out is up," Elsey whispered to me, a leap of faith. Still Thirsty??? Parched. Have some milk. Climb on board, she said and as a harvest moon rose over cyberland we reared back we sprang into a gallop leaping out of orbit, I awoke singing: OOOOOOh only thing to do only think 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 ...
