And  she was lying  in the grass
And  she could hear  the highway breathing
And  she could see  a nearby factory
She's  making sure  she is not dreaming
See  the lights  of the neighbor's  house
Now  she's starting  to rise
Take  a minute  to concentrate
 And  she opens up  her eyes
The  world was moving,  she was  right there with  it
 And she was
The  world was moving  she was  floating above  it
 And she was
And  she was drifting  thorugh the backyard
And  she was taking  off her dress
And  she was moving  very slowly
Rising up  above the earth
Moving  into  the universe
Drifting  this  way and that
Now  touching  the ground  at all
Up  above  the yard
The  world was moving,  she was  right there with  it
 And she was
The  world was moving  she was  floating above  it
 And she was
 She was glad  about it ... no doubt about it
She  isn't sure about where she's gone
No  time to think about what to tell them
No  time to think about what she's done
 And she was
And  she was looking  at herself
And  things were looking  like a movie
She  had a pleasant  elevation
She's  moving out  in all directions
Oh, oh, oh, ...
Oh, oh, oh,  ...
Oh, oh, oh, ...
Oh, oh, oh,  ...
The  world was moving,  she was  right there with  it
 And she was
The  world was moving  she was  floating above  it
 And she was
Joining  the world  of missing  persons
 And she was
Missing  enough  to  feel alright
 And she was
