[Chorus: Michael Stipe, Peter Gabriel]
([Whistling])
If you believed they put a man on the moon
(Whistling tunes, we hide in the dunes by the seaside)
Man on the moon
If you believed there's nothing up his sleeve
(Whistling tunes, we’re kissing baboons in the jungle)
Then nothing is cool
(It's a knockout)
If you believed they put a man on the moon
(If looks could kill, they probably will
In games without frontiers, war without tears)
Man on the moon
If you believed there's nothing up his sleeve
(If looks could kill, they probably will
In games without frontiers, war without tears)
Then nothing is cool
[Verse 2: Michael Stipe, Kate Bush]

[Pre-Chorus 2: Peter Gabriel]
Andre has a red flag, Chiang Ching's is blue
They all have hills to fly them on except for Lin Tai Yu
Dressing up in costumes, playing silly games
Hiding out in treetops, shouting out rude names
[Chorus: Michael Stipe, Peter Gabriel]
([Whistling])
If you believed they put a man on the moon
(Whistling tunes, we hide in the dunes by the seaside)
Man on the moon
If you believed there's nothing up his sleeve
(Whistling tunes, we're kissing baboons in the jungle)
Then nothing is cool
(It's a knockout)
If you believed they put a man on the moon
(If looks could kill, they probably will
In games without frontiers, war without tears)
Man on the moon
If you believed there's nothing up his sleeve
(If looks could kill, they probably will
In games without frontiers, war without tears)
Then nothing is cool
[Bridge: Michael Stipe]
(Moses went walking with the staff of wood
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Newton got beaned by the apple good
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Egypt was troubled by the horrible asp
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Mister Charles Darwin had the gall to ask
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
[Rap Solo: Ludacris, Michael Stipe]
When I was 13, I had my first love (oh wow)
There was nobody that compared to my baby
And nobody came between us, no one could ever come above (eh)
She had me going crazy
Oh, I was starstruck
She woke me up daily, don’t need no Starbucks
She made my heart pound, and skip a beat when I see her in the street and
At school on the playground, but I really want to see her on the weekend
She knows she’s got me dazing, cause she was so amazing
And now my heart is breaking, but I just keep on saying
Now, Andy, did you hear about this one?
Tell me, are you locked in the punch?
[Transition: Michael Stipe]
Hey, Andy, are you goofing on Elvis? Hey, baby
Are you having fun?
[Chorus: Michael Stipe, Peter Gabriel]

If you believed they put a man on the moon
(Whistling tunes, we hide in the dunes by the seaside)

If you believed there's nothing up his sleeve
(Whistling tunes, we’re kissing baboons in the jungle)
Then nothing is cool
(It's a knockout)
If you believed they put a man on the moon
(If looks could kill, they probably will
In games without frontiers, war without tears)
Man on the moon
If you believed there's nothing up his sleeve
(If looks could kill, they probably will
In games without frontiers, war without tears)
Then nothing is cool
