I heard you when you said you wanted space
Can't live here anymore, gotta find my own separate place
Take the world, boy, you can have it
I'll kiss it goodbye
Build a rocket, put me on it
And shoot it straight to the sky

If there was a motel on the Moon
Would that be enough miles away for you?
I'd check in, say I don't know how long I'm stayin'
I'd give a fake name, tell 'em earth is overrated
And I won't be goin' back there anytime soon
If there's a motel on the Moon

That's how far I'd go if it makes you happy
It's not down the road or halfway across the country
When I'm up there, I'll look back and see
Just how small you are
I'll be sippin' somethin' on a gray rock
In some lobby bar

If there was a motel on the Moon
Would that be enough miles away for you?
Oh, I'd check in, say I don't know how long I'm stayin'
I'd give a fake name, tell 'em earth is overrated
And I won't be goin' back there anytime soon
If there's a motel on the Moon
Oh

Maybe there really is a man up there
And heartbreak disappears with the atmosphere

If there was a motel on the Moon
Would that be enough miles away for you?
Oh, I'd check in, say I don't know how long I'm stayin'
And I'd give a fake name, tell 'em earth is overrated
And I won't be goin' back there anytime soon
No, I won't be goin' back there anytime soon
If there was a motel on the Moon
Oh
