Song About The Moon

If you want to write a song about the moon

Walk along the craters of the afternoon

When the shadows are deep and the light is alien

And gravity leaps like a knife off the pavement

And you want to write a song about the moon

You want to write a spiritual tune

Then nah nah, nah nah nah nah, yeah yeah

Presto, a song about the moon

If you want to write a song about the heart

Think about the moon before you start

Because the heart will howl like a dog in the moonlight

And the heart can explode like a pistol on a June night

So if you want to write a song about the heart

And it's ever longing for a counterpart

Then nah nah, nah nah nah nah, yeah yeah yeah

Write a song about the moon

The laughing boy, he laughed so hard

He fell down from his place

The laughing girl, she laughed so hard

The tears rolled down her face

Hey songwriter, if you want to write a song about a face

Think about a photograph

That you really can't remember but you can't erase

Wash your hands in dreams and lightning

Cut off your hair and whatever is frightening

If you want to write a song about a face

If you want to write a song about the human race

Then nah nah, nah nah nah nah, yeah yeah yeah

Write a song about the moon

If you want to write a song about the moon

You want to write a spiritual tune

Nah nah, nah nah nah nah, yeah yeah yeah, then do it

Write a song about the moon
