Jonathan King admitted that this was basically just a spoof of 'poetic'
lyrics that had become the rage during the folk-rock scare of 1965.
While he never had another US hit, he went on to a long career as a
musical prankster in the UK, releasing a lengthy string of novelty
records (including an 'ooga-chaka' cover of 'Hooked On A Feeling' years
before Blue Swede) under a wide variety of studio aliases. He also
discovered (and named) Genesis, but even I don't detest Phil Collins
enough to call that his biggest prank of all. -- AWR

Verse 1:
Streets full of people
All alone
Roads full of houses
Never home
Church full of singing
Out of tune
Fm7 Bb [1,3: Ebmaj7 Ab Bb] [2: Eb; to bridge]
Everyone's gone to the moon
Verse 2:
Eyes full of sorrow
Never wet
Hands full of money
All in debt
Sun coming out in
The middle of June
Everyone's gone to the moon
Bridge:
Long time ago

Life has begun
Everyone went to the sun
Verse 3:
Hearts full of motors
Painted green
Mouths full of chocolate
Covered cream
Arms that can only
Lift a spoon
Everyone's gone to the moon
Coda:
Everyone's gone to the moon

Everyone's gone to the moon
