Shaky Hues

Lonesome brides and chewed-up grooms
Controlled by sterilized hands from
The Upper Room
Love knows what we don't too soon
Drops of passion turn into a monsoon
Then washes you away
Everyone's colors are revealed in aching light
White and holy doves still look black at midnight
Dancing in a crowded space
With people easy to forget and erase
Forgetting you're just one more face

And a voice
Distant and dark
Brought news of the end
This is what he said

Dimly lit kitchens and overflowing sinks
Stink with the smell of not living
Learned to smoke his hopes through
The pipe of dying alone and prayed the fumes
Might attract somebody else in
Circumcised and criticized by television
Evangelized through the eyes of a blind man
Search and see, through definite insecurities
Handed to you through people you once knew
This will fade

And a voice
Distant and dark
Brought news of the end
This is what he said

Man in the moon
Man in the moon is smiling
Funny things my stars are making
Constellations poured like cement
Thinking it was heaven-sent
To find someone
Someone like you

Man in the moon
Man in the moon is smiling (smile)
Man in the moon
Man in the moon is smiling (smile)
