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
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
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
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
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
Hey songwriter, if you want to write a song about a face Think about a photograph that you really canÂŽt remember but you canÂŽt erase Wash your hands in dreams and lightning Cut off your hair and whatever is frightening
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
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
