I think maybe I knew her in school
In my memory's faded view
I remember years ago
Her name I barely knewYears later I saw her in town
Knocking on my window talking loud
She said, "Baby do you need a date
Or just a little foolin' around?"Way down where the red light's low
Slinkin' down where the bad seeds grow
Crawlin' where the sun don't show
'Neath the sad moonWalking the streets, all on display
Standing there and laying in wait
She looks at me and I look away
'Neath the sad moonI said, "Thanks, no I don't need that
But as she turned her naked back
She turned to go
And I just had to stare at her walking awayLooking out there it might be me
But for the grace of God oh I can see
A grain of sand, a strand of hair
A chromosome or someone's dareWay down where the red light's low
Slinkin' down where the bad seeds grow
Crawlin' where the sun don't show
'Neath the sad moonWalking the streets, all on display
Standing there and laying in wait
She looks at me and I look away
'Neath the sad moonCouldn't help but follow her
Felt so bad but couldn't stop
Curiosity's got me
Worth a damn I know I'm notI put her down but want her too
Ashamed to say I want her a lot
Guess I'll go and move along
Let it go, let it dropWay down where the red light's low
Slinkin' down where the bad seeds grow
Crawlin' where the sun don't show
'Neath the sad moonWalking the streets, all on display
Standing there and laying in wait
She looks at me and I look away
'Neath the sad moon
