Consider green lakes
And the idocy of clocks
Someone shot nostalgia in the back
Someone shot our innocenceA broken arrow in a bloody pool
The in the face
Of midnight proposals
Someone shot nostalgia in the back
Someone shot our innocenceIn the shadow of his smile
In the shadow of his smile
In the shadow of his smile
In the shadow of his smileAll our dreams have melted down
We are hiding in the bushes
From dead men
Doing Douglas Fairbanks' stuntsAll our stories burnt
Our films lost in the rushes
We can't paint any pictures
As the moon had all our brushesExtracting wasps from stings in flight
Who killed Mr. Moonlight?
Who killed Mr. Moonlight
In the shadow of his smile
Who killed Mr. Moonlight
In the shadow of his smile
