Lyrics

[Verse 1] He was white and she was white as only statues are Fifty years they stood there looking stupid by a jar One night in mid-August when the moonlight got too strong They climbed off their pedestal and then they sang this song [Verse 2] Past the gun emplacement and the bones as white as bleach Through the rats and ivy till they came out on a beach Out into the ocean till they disappeared from view Honey, when it gets you there's just nothing you can do [Chorus] Underwater moonlight sets the body free Underwater moonlight, baby, you and me Underwater moonlight Underwater moonlight [Verse 3] He was pink and she was pink and onward they did row Didn't see the giant squid, though it was fairly slow When they hit the bottom they were well and truly dead The statues took their place and then they rowed back home instead [Chorus] Underwater moonlight, take your baby down Underwater moonlight, watch you baby drown with love And in the moonlight Underwater moonlight Underwater moonlight Underwater moonlight [Guitar Solo/Bridge] [All is dark the summer's past] [Across the sea] [You've been drowned] Once again Once again I can take you down (Moonlight) Below the sea (Moonlight) Why don't you feed the fish? (Moonlight) I'll make you feed the fish (Moonlight) I'll watch you feed the fish (Moonlight) I'll watch you feed the fish (Moonlight) [Outro] Underwater moonlight sets the body free Underwater moonlight, baby, you and me Underwater moonlight Underwater moonlight Underwater moonlight Underwater moonlight
