Moon Song
There’s a smudge on the moon about 2 o’clock
where men are trying to sleep
It’s been a long day in tranquility bay
where moon dust is starting to steep
Miles to go and promises kept
Heaven and earth
It’s cold in Kamtchatka and Kodiak
and war is a hell of a thing
So if stroking the flag is more of your bag
go with your God or your king
Get on your boots pull down your hat
Piss in the wind
The man in the moon isn’t smiling,
cause he’s in love
He’s having a big cheese eating laugh
and pulling fundy tides
and making werewolves howl
Space is lovely dark and deep,
but there’s a promise maligned
Shooting for freedom shooting the moon.
More a small step for mankind
Spilling of oil spilling of blood
Time for a change
You’re a fool to believe all the rhetoric.
People are good and are just.
We’re all the same no matter the name
institutions build the mistrust
The price is more than the trillions
Song for the moon
I’m just on a vector here but I have to say
I don’t understand
They can fire Michael Collins into space
but can’t fix the mess
down here on earth
