To Meet the Moon - Count Zero

sitting on a smokestack she rehearses

listening to the echo make it huge

blithely disregarding second verses

swallowed in the sonic centrifuge

all at once the sounds fade

her sleeve is tattering

from a twitching shoulder blade

her arm sprouts a wing

now she’s flying over everything

it’s a mind over matter thing

she’s defying gravity to meet the moon

Pilot points the blips out on the radar

shows them to the junior engineer

wondering what the numbers now displayed are

locks in on the coordinates, and steers near

now they’re wondering if they’re sane

can’t trust a thing they see

she’s afloat beside their plane

in love with levity

yeah, she’s fly over everything

it’s a mind over matter thing

she’s defying gravity to meet the moon

no, her heart don’t doubt a thing

it’s a mind over matter thing

watch her ride through galaxies to meet the moon
