Lyrics

[Verse 1] If you want to write a song about the moon Walk along the craters of the afternoon When the shadows are deep and the light is alien And gravity leaps like a knife off the pavement [Chorus 1] And you want to write a song about the moon You want to write a spiritual tune Then na na na yeah, presto A song about the moon [Verse 2] If you want to write a song about the heart Think about the moon before you start Because the heart will howl like a dog in the moonlight And the heart can explode like a pistol on a June night [Chorus 2] So if you want to write a song about the heart And its ever-longing for a counterpart Then na na na na yeah yeah yeah Write a song about the moon [Bridge] The laughing boy, he laughed so hard He fell down from his place The laughing girl, she laughed so hard That tears rolled down her face [Verse 3] Hey songwriter, if you want to write a song about a face Think about a photograph that you really can't remember but you can't erase Wash your hands in dreams and lightning Cut off your hair and whatever is frightening [Chorus 3] If you want to write a song about a face If you want to write a song about the human race Then na na na na yeah yeah Write a song about the moon [Chorus 4] If you want to write a song about the moon You want to write a spiritual tune Na na na na na na yeah yeah yeah, then do it Write a song about the moon
