Red, red moon Keep on rising The sunset soon indeed will bleed in my horizon The crescent rests, tethered to the west Waxing to the rhythm writhing in my chest That crack between the watercolor sky and sea is the Corner where you're born in the mist I might deride the tide 'Cause I'm pulled as it pools around my feet Towards your stolen light While I'm held in your slight gravity Well I walk the equator, chasing the light Little do I know it orbits close behind I might remember or might assume But I only turn around every once in a red, red moon I said I only turn around every once in a red, red moon Red, red moon When will your shadows break? Tell the truth What're you hiding behind that face? If matter's in then I might space out Why can't I take in what you've been putting out? Why do I reject it while you endlessly reflect it? You're projecting your perfection astounds Nighttime, please hide my eyes So the man up there won't watch me stare Teach me to make moonshine And we'll get drunk on the spirits of the air Well I walk the equator, chasing the light Little do I know it orbits close behind I might remember or might assume But I only turn around every once in a red, red moon I said I only turn around every once in a red, red moon The constellations form infinite paisleys in the sky The condensation tumbles down and erases all my sight And is it in the nightmare map of the cosmos up high? Or is it in the signs? Or stranger still, just in my eyes? Well I walk the equator, chasing the light Little do I know it orbits close behind I might remember or might assume But I only turn around every once I said I walk the equator, chasing the light Little do I know it orbits close behind I might remember or might assume But I only turn around every once in a red, red moon I said I only turn around every once in a red, red moon I said I only turn around every once in a red, red moon
