- Leap of Faith
by Jonathan Larson
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.
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...
But there is a way out…
Only thing to do is jump over the moon.”
Leap of Faith
Leap Of Faith
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 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 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.
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 –
And come knockin’ 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.
"Have some milk."
And I lowered myself beneath her
And held my mouth to her swollen udder
And sucked the sweetest milk I'd ever tasted."
"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…
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 Moooooooo!
Moooooooo
Moooooooo
Moooooooo
Moooooooo
Moo with me.
Thank you.
