Story behind the song
On my way to buy one of those "Al Gore lightbulbs," I walked by a globe on College Avenue in Berkeley, Calif., and noticed how the national borders looked like fractures. And that's how the song began.
Lyrics
ZIP CODE OF THE MOON
Music and lyrics by Paul Iorio
Copyright 2011
Well, I was nearly hit by one of those clean, clear, refreshing trucks
On my way to buy ground chuck and
One of those Al Gore lightbulbs
And wondering if fine wine goes to heaven when it dies
I passed a globe out on Main Street
The national borders look like fractures to me
United States radio music
I can hear it miles away even though you can find me in the zip code of the moon
Find me in the zip code of the moon
You can find me in the zip code of the moon
I was born in hell in 1817
Died in heaven in 1853
What I did in between is between you and me
Now I've come back to earth as easy as 1-2-7-9-3
I don't know what I've been told
The streets of heaven are paved with potholes
You can fence me in if you can find me
You can find in the zip code of the moon
Find me in the zip code of the moon
You can find me in the zip code of the moon
Well, I was born on the Nevada state line
I know you think I'm probably lyin'
But I've got proof
130 proof
And I'm gonna shout it loud from every roof
I passed a globe out on Main Street
The national borders look like fractures to me
United States radio music
I can hear it miles away even though you can find me in the zip code of the moon
Find me in the zip code of the moon
You can find me in the zip code of the moon
Find me in the zip code of the moon
Find me in the zip code of the moon
I can hear it miles away even though you can find me in the zip code of the moon
NOTES ON "ZIP CODE OF THE MOON": Drunk countryfolk surrealism, I think. This one was inspired weeks ago when I saw a globe and thought that the national borders looked like fractures.
