Mr. Moon
I am fourteen with my sister's face
On the fake I.D. that you got
Your flashlight on
Shining down on her not me
In that little square
So I talk about this weather
While my sister smiles
Then you hand her back to me saying
"You don't have brown hair"
Well I was leaving anyway
'Cause your band is out of tune
I'll just find a better place
Or a wishing star or two
Don't you look down on me Mr. Moon
Maybe someday I'll be an angel
Who knows
I just might visit you
When my time here is through
So don't look down on me Mr. Moon
It's a cold night for a heart to break
So I'll just pretend that it's Independence Day
Find someone to celebrate
I see Jim Beam lying on his side
Says he'd like to fly
And could I help him toward that sign that says
I am not allowed inside
And it's one for Saturday
And it's two to say good-bye
Then we made our getaways
Underneath a Midwest sky
Good-bye
And don't you look down on me Mr. Moon
Maybe someday I'll be an angel
Who knows
I just might visit you
When my time here is through
So don't look down on me Mr. Moon
Now I walk past the shadowed church
Where they dream about better days
When we're all dead and gone
And hear the trumpets blow
Well I hear one playing loud and strong
And you don't get long to dance in this world
Do you now
So come on sister smile for me
Cause it's one for Saturday
And it's two to say good-bye
Then we made our getaways
Underneath a Midwest sky
So don't you look down on me Mr. Moon
Maybe someday I'll be an angel
