Rope Ladder to the Moon - Colosseum

You asked me to a party

To a house just by the moon

You gave me silver loving

The end was all too soon

You asked me to the theatre

In a place quite near the sun

You gave me golden sunbeams

You act was all in fun

Rope ladder to the moon!

You asked me to a meeting

In a cottage in the snow

You gave me central heating

I can’t forget the glow

You asked me to a weekend

Down by the stormy sea

You took me to a ceremony

And the sacrifice — was me!

You asked me to a stromcloud

Up near the rainbow’s end

Then you threw away the ladder

And gave me to your friend

You took me to a prison

And you said its chief was me

Then you locked me deep inside you

And thew away the key

Rope ladder to the moon!
