The Moon

WELL LAST NIGHT WE WERE JUST A COUPLE OF ANIMALS

SHOOTING UP AND LAUGHING AT THE BIG RED MOON

DRINKING FROM THE BOTTLE AND LIGHTING LITTLE FIRES

WHILE THE SKY FILLED UP WITH A HUNDRED BALLOONS

AND THE SOUND THAT WE WERE MAKING WAS SHAKING THE TRESS

TILL YOU LOOKED UP TO ME AND FELL DOWN TO YOUR KNEES UH HUH

WELL I WOKE UP TONIGHT WITH A PAIN IN MY SIDE

AND THE SWEETEST TASTING BLOOD ON MY TONGUE

I’VE BEEN CIRCLING AROUND LOOKING DOWN AT THE GROUND

BUT I HAVEN’T FOUND THE SOUND OF THE SONG THAT YOU SUNG

AND THE WRINGING IN MY EARS IS THE FEAR I’VE BEGUN

TO TRY TO DIE WHILE I STILL HAVE THE TIME TO BE YOUNG

AND I SEE THE TRAJECTORY IN FRONT OF ME IS A DARK PLACE TO BE

SO NATURALLY I ATROPHY

YOU LAUGH AT ME SO LET’S AGREE TO DISAGREE

OH YOU MUST BE SO SICK OF ME

CAUSE I’M A STICK IN THE MUD AND THE THORN IN YOUR SIDE

FROM THE MOMENT YOU WERE BORN UNTIL THE DAY THAT YOU DIE

AND NOW WE’LL WAKE UP TOMORROW WITH A HUNGER INSIDE

WHILE THE CATERPILLARS RATTLE RIGHT OUT THE COCOON

AND IF YOU’RE FEELING ALRIGHT AND IF YOU WANT TO TRY TO TIE THE DAY TOGETHER WITH A NEEDLE

LET’S GET OUT OF HERE SOON

AND WE’LL BE IN A DREAM INSTANTLY

INTRAVENOUSLY WE WASH AWAY ANOTHER PART OF OUR REALITY

SO NATURALLY YOU COME BACK TO ME

I STILL CAN’T BELIEVE YOU’RE SO ATTACHED TO WHAT WE CAN’T SEE

OH YOU MUST BE SO SICK OF ME

CAUSE I’M A STICK IN THE MUD AND THE THORN IN YOUR SIDE

FROM THE MOMENT YOU WERE BORN UNTIL THE DAY THAT YOU DIE UH HUH
