The Man in the Moon

Lyrics

[Intro] "Nowhere is there more beauty than here Tonight, when the moon rises, the whole world will turn to silver." [Verse 1] Everybody loves him 'cause he's light years from home The poets and the painters, they can't leave him alone A lighthouse to romantics both on land and at sea A satellite of secrets born of charm and intrigue [Chorus] He's the man in the moon Oh, see how he smiles The man in the moon Still, sad all the while [Verse 2] One night they came a-knockin' on his living room door They used him, bruised him, screwed him hard until they were bored Now no one really seems to give a damn anymore Another lunatic loser who's no longer adored [Chorus] He's the man in the moon My far-out friend in the sky The man in the moon Oh, see how he cries [Instrumental break] [Chorus] He's the man in the moon Oh, see how he smiles The man in the moon A supersonic space-age child The man in the moon My far-out friend in the sky The man in the moon Oh, look at him cry
