Hello You know you look even better than the way you did now before And the moment that you kissed my lips you know I started to feel wonderful It's something incredible, there's sex in your chemicals Oh, let's go You're the best way I know to escape the extraordinary This world ain't for you, and I know for damn sure this world ain't for me Lift off and say goodbye Just let your fire set me free Moonshine, take us to the stars tonight Take us to that special place That place we went the last time, the last time I know, I was with you last night but it feels like it's been so long And everybody that's around they know that I'm not myself when you gone It's good to see you again, good to see you again On top of the world, is where I stand when you're back in my life Life's not so bad when you're way up this high Everything is alright, everything is alright Moonshine, take us to the stars tonight Take us to that special place That place we went the last time, the last time, oh Moonshine, your love it makes me come alive Take us to that special place That place we went the last time, the last time Tu-ru-tu don't you never look back We are not afraid to die young and live fast Give me good times, give me love, give me laughs Let's take a ride to the sky before the night is gone Moonshine, take us to the stars tonight Take us to that special place That place we went the last time, the last time, oh Moonshine, your love it makes me come alive Take us to that special place That place we went the last time, the last time
