Lyrics

[Verse 1] Green like a pear Jumped off the hospital bed You brought me sweets And the grossest of cactuses Hand on the pulse you stamped the ants that were Marching in rows to lay eggs in my hair [Chorus] And the cruel moon it hung low Moon it hung low With it's arc bent like a sword A chinese sword [Verse 2] In the back of my brain A glimmer of hope was itching Like toes of a leg that got amputated Greenish white, my face like a canvas Where end credits roll from my foreheads to chin Stay in your seats And watch the end credits roll from the foreheads to chin [Chorus] And the cruel moon it hung low Moon it hung low With it's arc bent like a sword A chinese sword [Post-Chorus] It felt no compassion It felt no remorse Chopping our heads right off The cruel moon it hung low The moon it hung low [Bridge] Oh, we cried like there was another Fate in store where we hold each other In a jet plane circling the earth to Keep the night from catching us again [Chorus] And the cruel moon it hung low Moon it hung low With it's arc bent like a sword A chinese sword [Post-Chorus] It felt no compassion It felt no remorse Chopping our heads right off The cruel moon it hung low The moon it hung low Sharp like a chinese sword
