Lyrics

[Verse 1] Tight slack-clad girls on the graveyard shift 'Neath the cement stroll, catch the midnight drift Cigar-chewing Charlie in that newspaper nest Grifting hot horse tips on who's running the best [Chorus] And I'm blinded by the neon Don't try and change my tune 'Cause I thought I heard a saxophone I'm drunk on the moon [Verse 2] And the moon's a silver slipper, it's pouring champagne stars And Broadway's like a serpent pulling shiny top-down cars Larimer is teeming with that undulated beat As some Bonneville is screaming its way wildly down the street [Chorus] And I'm blinded by the neon Don't try and change my tune I thought I heard a saxophone I'm drunk on the moon [Saxophone and Trumpet Solos] [Verse 3] Hearts flutter and race, the moon's on the wane Tarts mutter their dream hopes the night will ordain Come schemers and dancers, cherry delight As a Cleveland-bound Greyhound, and it cuts through the night [Chorus] And I've hawked all my yesterdays Don't try and change my tune 'Cause I thought I heard a saxophone I'm drunk on the moon
