The Moon Songtext
von Ezra Furman & The Harpoons

(Oh, yeah, mmm)
(Be my baby)
(Why don′t they let us fall in love?)

I stayed up late listening to the Ronettes
Thinking 'bout teenage nights and car headlights and the heaviest of passionate breaths
It′s all tumbling down, I think we're coming around
We got the greatest moments of our lives, they're recorded in stereo sound

Leaves in fall and buildings tall
A million people at night looking up at the sky like a big blank wall
A blooming hive on Lake Shore Drive while
All the bugs crawl along with the radio and that is keeping the queen alive

My heart sinks at the sunrise
My hands are moving clockwise
It′s hard to explain the phenomenal pain
It′s just reflecting in your eyes, reflecting in your eyes
I wanna be one of the good guys


Gimme a call when your car's just over the state line
And the moon′s so important, you can see it in the daytime
You can see it in the daytime
I'll give you my heart when the big, big beating is stable
And the world unfolds like a map on the table
Like a map on the table, oh

Blazing flames and Biblical names
Little kids on the lawn with their sunglasses on and the answers always come out the same
You waste your time and you kill your mind
Oh, but the world looks best with Harpoons in your chest and staggering across the assembly line

Well, my heart′s filled with guitar notes
My mind is covered in barcodes
It's tough to describe the phenomenal vibe
We′re just going, going to rock shows, going to rock shows
Can't figure it out, only the moon knows

Gimme a call when your car's just over the state line
And the moon′s so important, you can see it in the daytime
You can see it in the daytime
I′ll give you my heart when the big, big beating is stable
And the world unfolds like a map on the table
It's like a map on the table, woo, ha
