So you think there's gonna be peace, do you?

Yes, and freedom.

I see.

Freedom of mind, and everything

I see. Really nice.

Everybody will just be flying around, you know.

Ah, everybody will just be flying around, you see, do you understand that?

The air's so crisp and all that. And just, there's something about it, very delicate...

Deep and crisp and even
Brightly shone the moon last night
On the mosty cruel

I'll get you a big pink teddy bear
Oh, thank you, mommy
And be a good boy, John
Oh yes, mommy, I will

And a man on the moon
That goes on the moon
And dance on the moon
And ice cream moon then
That's right
And lots, and lots, and lots, and lots, and lots, and lots, and lots, and lots, and lots, and lots, and lots
