She's taking her time making up the reasons 
To justify all the hurt inside 
Guess she knows from the smiles and the look in their eyes 
Everyone's got a theory about the bitter one 
They're saying 

Mama never loved her much 
And daddy never keeps in touch 
That's why she shies away from human affection 
But somewhere in a private place 
She packs her bags for outer space 
And now she's waiting for the right kind of pilot 
To come (and she'll say to him)
 
She's saying 
I would fly to the moon and back 
If you'll be if you'll be my baby 
Got a ticket for a world where we belong 
So would you be my baby 
Ooh-ooh 

She can't remember a time 
When she felt needed 
If love was red then she was colour-blind 
All her friends they've been tried for treason 
And crimes that were never defined 
She's saying 

Love is like a barren place 
And reaching out for human faith is 
Is like a journey I just don't have a map for 
So baby gonna take a dive and push the shift to overdrive 
Send a signal that she's hanging all her hopes on the stars 
(What a pleasant dream) just saying 

(CHORUS x2)
 
Mamma never loved her much 
And daddy never keeps in touch 
That's why she shies away from human affection 
But somewhere in a private place 
She packs her bags for outer space 
And now she's waiting for the right kind of pilot 
To come (and she'll say to him) 
She's saying 

(REPEAT CHORUS TWICE)
