Welcome to Gaia! ::

This song is kinda weird, but it's actually pretty cool. I love the chorus when she sings "Only thing to do is jump over the moon" it's so pretty.

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

Leap of faith, leap of faith
Leap of faith, leap of faith
"Only thing to do is jump over the moon"
Leap of faith, leap of faith
Leap of faith, leap of faith

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've gotta gotta gotta gotta gotta gotta Gotta gotta 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
Leap of faith, leap of faith
Leap of faith, leap of faith

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.
1,2,3, "That's bull," he said.
"Ever since the cat took up the fiddle that cow's been jumpy
The dish and the spoon were evicted from the table and eloped
She's had trouble with her milk and that moon ever since.
Maybe it's a female thing, 'cause who'd wanna leave
Cyberland anyway? Walls 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 say 'Not in my backyard, utensils!
Go back to China'!" Be De Bah!
"The only way out is up" Elsie whispered to me
"A leap of faith. Still thirsty?"
PARCHED (parched, parched, parched, parched)
"Have some milk"
And I lowered myself beneath her swollen udder
and I sucked the sweetest milk I had ever tasted
"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

Leap of faith, leap of faith
Leap of faith, leap of faith
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
Please sir could you give me a little Moo?
Moo yes!
Moo YES!
Moo with me!
Moooooooo
Moo!
Yes Moo with me!
Yes it sounds beautiful!
Moo!
Let me hear you New York City!

Thank you!

I like it too :3

Especially since it's acapella; it shows off Idina's amazing voice

That song must take so much energy though .___.

awww! i'll get into 'phases' where i'll listen to one musical more than others (right now it's the german RENT cast recording...yes i am bizarre). so i'll go on a wicked kick and then suddenly something from RENT'll pop up on my itunes and i'll have a little spazzy moment and go "wtf elphaba what the hell are you doing here?"

Oh man, Maureen in my dream role and I love this song. Idina's so amazing and then you can just have fun with this song. There's so much lee-way for notes, you can just have fun with it.

It's so different, it makes Rent special. And shows off Maureen's ecentricities... hahaha... rofl

One of my favourite songs from the musical!
For a music assignment at school I presented the song, I was going to do the actions to it, but everyone would've been like....
eek

This is one of the first songs my friend made me listen to when she got me addicted to RENT.
...I guess it kinda stuck =)

I guess he could be suicidal and homicidal...
