Drunk on the Moon Lyrics
Wash that morning fog from your eyes
Brush that birds nest from your hair
The sun is beginning to rise
You treat me like you don’t care
You fell asleep on me
Then asked me how it was?
You’re killing me by degrees
Don’t ask me why just because
Like a sugar cube melting in the rain
You’ve dissolved my love revealing the pain
I can’t wait to get away non too soon
As far away as I can
I’m gonna get drunk on the moon
On the moon
On the moon
On the moon
I’m gonna get drunk on the moon
Can’t believe I’ve made it this far
Maybe I took a wrong turn
I must have followed the wrong star
It’s never too late to learn
Through all those shattered nights
Through all those broken days
I always looked for the light
Peering through the foggy haze
Running as far as I can from my fate
Crashing foreign cars into iron gates
Dropping through the sky like a lead balloon
And hanging on for dear life
I’m gonna get drunk on the moon
On the moon
On the moon
On the moon
I’m gonna get drunk on the moon
We all sleep in the never world
But we’re not ready to stay
Pictures and shadows are swirled
Resurrected the next day
T.V.’s smoking my mind
Telling me what to think
I have wasted so much time
I’m not that far from the brink
Maybe I should stop fighting and go down
In these rough seas it won’t take long to drown
No, I’m gonna fight my impending doom
And get away in my mind
I’m gonna get drunk on the moon
On the moon
On the moon
On the moon
I’m gonna get drunk on the moon
Paul Robert Thomas
