  • Yesterday I tried to write a novel but I didn't know where to begin
    So I laid down in the grass tryin' to feel the world turn
    Boy loses girl in a rain storm, nuclear World War III
    All that's left is pain and sorrow as far as he's concerned

    So he says please send all your moonbeam levels to me
    Please send all your moonbeam levels to me
    Please send all your moonbeam levels to me
    I'm lookin' for a better place to die

    Maybe he's lookin' for a different world
    Maybe he's lookin' for a brand new high
    Maybe he would like a nice condo overlookin' the rings of Saturn
    Maybe he wants affection instead of a plastic life
    Maybe he doesn't know what he wants at all

    So he says please send all your moonbeam levels to me
    Please send all your moonbeam levels to me
    Please send all your moonbeam levels to me
    I'm lookin' for a better place to die

    A newborn child knows nothing of destruction
    Nothing of love and hate
    What happens in between is a mystery
    Because we don't give a damn about his fate

    He said he'll never keep diaries to learn from his mistakes
    Instead he'll just repeat all the good things that he's done
    Fight for perfect love until it's perfect love he makes
    When he's happy then his battle will be won (it's never to late)

    Please send all your moonbeam levels to me (send to me)
    Please send all your moonbeam levels to me (send to me yeah)
    Please send all your moonbeam levels to me (send to me)
    I'm lookin' for a better place to die
    Oh yeah! (Please send all your moonbeam levels to me)
    Please send all your moonbeam levels to me
    Please send all your moonbeam levels to me
    He don't, he don't, he don't really wanna die
    He don't wanna, he don't wanna, he don't wanna die
    He don't wanna, he don't wanna, he don't wanna die
    He don't really wanna die Writer/s: Prince Rogers Nelson
