Man in the Moon
There everyone must die
Reflections in my eyes
Flashing lights of lives
Under the sun
Here I can be alone
Away from flesh and bone
The weary groans of those
Under the sun
And all the while here I am
The man in the moon singing to them
With words as empty as a promised prayer
And with my glib mouth and hollow stare
I proclaim peace and goodwill to men
Not even the divine wind can touch me here
And when the world is burning with a lunatic fear
I need simply fly on dark wings of delusion
To the moon where I can make silent observations
In the safety of the sea of tranquility
Where only the mind exists
Looking down down down on a bloody kingdom
Down to the smoke and squalor of real life
While I live my own in third person
They sing to me yeah
Hey man in the moon
Are you coming down soon
To light up this dark world with your dim reflection
Hey man in the moon
Who are you to assume
We're not headed in the right direction
Hey man in the moon
From your high lofty gloom
Are you laughing or crying or screaming?
Lost
In orbit round the sun
You and I are one
Tethered fast by cords of gravity
Reach
Hands like waves outstretched to me
Bring me down to see
A world of pain and joy under the sun
I'll leave my deathmask behind the shroud
The man in the moon coming down through the clouds
To drink the blood of the earth from the muddy ground
Hearing strangled cries and broken laughing sounds
I'll wait for peace and goodwill to men
They sing to me yeah
Hey man in the moon
Are you coming down soon
To light up this dark world with your dim reflection
Hey man in the moon
Who are you to assume
We're not headed in the right direction
Hey man in the moon
From your high lofty gloom
Are you laughing or crying oh
They sing to me yeah
Hey man in the moon
Are you coming down soon
To light up this dark world with your dim reflection
Hey man in the moon
Who are you to assume
We're not headed in the right direction
Hey man in the moon
From your high lofty gloom
Are you laughing or crying or screaming?
Reflections in my eyes
Flashing lights of lives
Under the sun
Here I can be alone
Away from flesh and bone
The weary groans of those
Under the sun
And all the while here I am
The man in the moon singing to them
With words as empty as a promised prayer
And with my glib mouth and hollow stare
I proclaim peace and goodwill to men
Not even the divine wind can touch me here
And when the world is burning with a lunatic fear
I need simply fly on dark wings of delusion
To the moon where I can make silent observations
In the safety of the sea of tranquility
Where only the mind exists
Looking down down down on a bloody kingdom
Down to the smoke and squalor of real life
While I live my own in third person
They sing to me yeah
Hey man in the moon
Are you coming down soon
To light up this dark world with your dim reflection
Hey man in the moon
Who are you to assume
We're not headed in the right direction
Hey man in the moon
From your high lofty gloom
Are you laughing or crying or screaming?
Lost
In orbit round the sun
You and I are one
Tethered fast by cords of gravity

To light up this dark world with your dim reflection
Hey man in the moon
Who are you to assume
We're not headed in the right direction
Hey man in the moon
From your high lofty gloom
Are you laughing or crying oh
They sing to me yeah
Hey man in the moon
Are you coming down soon
To light up this dark world with your dim reflection
Hey man in the moon
Who are you to assume
We're not headed in the right direction
Hey man in the moon
From your high lofty gloom
Are you laughing or crying or screaming?
