Original Television Cast of Rent Live
Over the Moon
[MAUREEN]
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

She said, only thing to do is jump over the moon
They 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
(Leap of faith, leap of faith)
Oooooooo (Leap of faith, leap of faith)
Only thing to do is jump over the moon (Leap of faith, leap of faith, leap of faith, leap of faith)

I've gotta get out of here
It's like I'm being tied to the hood of a yellow rental truck
Packed in with fertilizer, and fuel oil
Pushed over a cliff by a suicidal Mickey Mouse
I've gotta
Gotta
Gotta
Gotta
Gotta
Gotta
Gotta
Gotta
Gotta
Gotta
Gotta
Find a way, to jump over the moon

Only thing to do is jump over the moon (Leap of faith, leap of faith, leap of faith, leap of faith)

Then, a little bulldog entered
His name, we have learned, was Benny (Boo!)
And although he once had principles
He abandoned them to live as a lapdog to a wealthy princess of the revolution

"Uh one two three that's bull" Benny said
Ever since that cat took up the fiddle that cow's been- jumping
She's had trouble with the milk and that 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
Knocked on my doghouse door and I said
"NOT IN MY BACKYARD, UTENSILS"

The only way out is—out is up
Elsie whispered to me, "A leap of faith"
Sill thirsty... parched, have some milk
And I lowered myself beneath her swollen utter and sucked the sweetest milk I have ever tasted
"CLIMB ONBOARD!" she said
And as a harvest moon rose over Cyberland, we reared back
We sprang into a gallop
Leaping, out of orbit, I awoke singing

(Leap of faith, leap of faith)
Ooh (Leap of faith, leap of faith)
Only thing to do, only thing to is jump (Leap of faith, leap of faith, leap of faith, leap of faith)
Only thing to do is jump over the moon (Leap of faith, leap of faith, leap of faith, leap of faith)
Only thing to do is jump over the moon (Leap of faith, leap of faith, leap of faith, leap of faith)
Over the moon (Leap of faith, leap of faith)
Over the mooo (leap of faith, leap of faith)
Mooooooooooo
MOOOOOOOOO

Moo with me, come on, crowd
Moo! Moo!
Thank you!
