    (Da da da da da da da)

    My rock candy passion is bittersweet
    And armed to the teeth
    'Cause she would rather fall in chocolate
    Than fall in love
    Especially with me

    I stood under the waterfall
    With a kiwi-pineapple parasol
    As Cinderella dropped the crystal ball
    And made a concrete cavern
    A caterpillar concert hall

    I wish that we could sail our sad days away
    Forever
    In deep blue seas of papier-mâché
    (Let's dance in the moonlight)
    A barracuda chased our dog days away
    Forever
    Let's sink or swim 'til we fall in love
    (And dance in the moonlight)
    When we join the yacht club

    I would rather go swimming
    With great white sharks
    Than wade in romance
    'Cause I can never find the courage
    To ask her to dinner
    Or even to dance
    (Dance in the moonlight)

    Don't sweat under your overcoat
    'Cause my heart can harbor this paddle boat
    You'll hit the bottom of the highest note
    And the chatty tree frogs will never wanna
    Leave your throat

    I wish that we could sail our sad days away
    Forever
    In deep blue seas of papier-mâché
    (Let's dance in the moonlight)
    A barracuda chased our dog days away
    Forever
    Let's sink or swim 'til we fall in love
    (And dance in the moonlight)
    When we join the yacht club

    Da da da da da da da da
    Da da da da da da da da
    Da da da da da da da da
    Da da da da da da da da

    Let go of the world you know
    And plug in the partyin' lights
    Soak your cares in the solar flares
    That light up these island nights
    Orange eclipse I can taste your lips
    In the citrus afternoon
    If you can fly don't stop at the sky
    'Cause there's footprints on the moon
    (With you)

    I wish that we could sail our sad days away
    Forever
    In deep blue seas of papier-mâché
    (Let's dance in the moonlight)
    A barracuda chased our dog days away
    Forever

    Let's sink or swim 'til we fall in love
    (And dance in the moonlight)
    When we join the yacht club
    (Let's dance in the moonlight)
