lyrics

“The planet you’re on means way more to you than here”
That’s what she slurred as her lover just blurs
And slips out of frame as her focus gets worse

He’s craving a curious taste
Out on the prowl pushing hard through the crowd
A dilution of his former self
As the last of the purity drips from his spout

In these dizzy confines of a merry go round
Coughs a city draped in bellows of smoke
And it’s high time he entered the mind of someone else
To see what it’s like

So long, my moonlight
I won’t write
I have to ride and I won’t have time to send you any message
Cause the transplant of my mind is wreckage I refuse to exhume

Dipping your toes in a city swimming with sharks
Careful now not to go in too deep
The lullaby drone of a nearby phone
Doesn’t penetrate the wall of your drunken drawl

Trapped is the change that you fight to digest
As you lose sight of what you’ve become
Your misery’s complete as the last of your friends
Draw away an indifferent hand
And forgets who you are

So long false moonlight
I won’t lie
I have to confide in the haven and the comfort of my own mind
Cause the one I occupy treats me so unkind every time
