"Take Me to the Moon” | A Duet About Trajectories and Choice

[These lyrics are sung interchangeably by a male and a female voice.] [Intro: Vocoder/Chant] tu tu tu tu tu tu [Verse 1] Neon street, the city runs too fast New science every week, old limits never last I’m not naïve, I count what it will take But I still believe in what we’re set to make [Verse 2] You talk like tomorrow is already here I’ve seen bright plans disappear Show me the proof, not just a tune Don’t sell me “soon” [Pre-Chorus] If it’s real, say it straight No empty vows in the noise [Pre-Chorus] Then hold my hand, we don’t wait I’ll build the path, you bring the choice [Chorus] Take me, take me to the moon If the moon is in our lifetime, take me soon Take me, take me to the moon We’ll turn the noise into a pathway for you [Chorus Reply] Not a myth, not a tune Step by step, we make it true If the moon is in our lifetime I’m taking you [Post-Chorus: Vocoder/Chant] tu tu tu tu tu tu [Verse 3] Launch lights cut the midnight blue We learn, we fail, we fix, we move If it’s in our lifetime, I won’t pretend I’ll carry the weight to the end [Bridge] I don’t trust sparks that fade at dawn But you don’t flinch, you keep pushing on So if you mean it in the light too Then I’m with you [Build] Faster, louder, engines rise One more step, we break the sky [Build] No more hiding in alibis I’m with you now, I choose this ride [Build] Hold on tight, the future’s new Take my hand — I’m taking you [Final Chorus] Take me, take me to the moon If the moon is in our lifetime, take me soon Take me, take me to the moon We’ll turn the noise into a pathway for you [Outro] If the moon is in our lifetime… I’m taking YOU
