Holiday On The Moon Lyrics

You can't get a suntan on the Moon
But I wouldn't mind a holiday there
They say, you can't get a suntan on the Moon
But I wouldn't mind a holiday there

All expenses paid courtesy of NASA
Thank you Mister President for my holiday, sir
I couldn't really say that I wish you were here
But thank you all the same sir
For my holiday
Holiday
Little lunar holiday

Having a wonderful time
Having a wonderful time
Having a wonderful time
Having a wonderful time

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

So, my thought on this was that it's about being fed up with life here on Earth, and needing to get away to a bleak and desolate place, away from the influence of humankind.

And I thought it also references drug use, to check out and go to a place like this, inside your head.

And then that whole thing with thanking the president kind of threw me. So I thought maybe, instead of injections of heroin, they were referencing a lethal injection for an inmate on death row. A holiday to the moon, all expenses paid (well, paid for by citizens' taxes), with no hope of ever coming back, sounds a lot like permanently checking out, to me.

Love to hear some other thoughts on this.

I wish this this site didn't consist of around 99.9% COMPLETE FUCKING MORONS COMMENTING, because when a good comment DOES show up, they are always 100% ABSOLUTELY FUCKING AMAZING, and there is literally no other word for them. I wish those FEW geniuses would comment more often....
