Lunacy© 2001 Jesse SlokumWhen there's no real reason for your grief And you're wondering what's cooking Acting like a superstitious thief Getting ready to crack your nut looking Out the window for a star to fall Just a glance makes you glad you found it So full, so white, and above it all It even has a ring around it Looking like the eye of a raccoon Well, I guess you could say it was the moon! Why don't you say it was the moon!! You can think you've just got what you sought With you eyes full of stars you're seeking When somebody that you really thought Could be the one suddenly stops being Friendly, and completely drops their tact Calling you a hair trigger on a gun Then walks away and says that you act Like you've been roasted by the sun Treating you like a big buffoon Once again, you could say it was the moon! Why don't you say it was the moon!! Come on and dance with me We'll stare that thing in the face 'Til we're as crazy as a loon Come, take a chance, you'll see It ain't no crashing disgrace Like mad dogs, and Englishmen at noon When even your days are filled with lust Just like Count Dracula in the crypt And the only confidante you trust Offers you a handwritten manuscript By the ultimate guru-vy goon Trying to make a profit off it But it looks like some meaningless rune Anf your walls talk to you like some prophet Who reveals that the end is coming soon Why don't you simply say it was the moon? Why don't we blame it on the moon? You don't have to make sense all the time Tell me something crazy that you heard I will do my best to make it rhyme With another thing equally absurd Like going surfing on a sand dune It's so easy to have some fun Let's play spoons or croon a tune in June Would you really like to be someone Whose life has become a sad cartoon? You could simply say it must be the moon! Let's go ahead and blame it on the moon!! Come on and dance with me We'll stare that thing in the face 'Til we're as crazy as a loon Come, take a chance, you'll see It ain't no crashing disgrace Like mad dogs, and Englishmen at noon |
