Man in the Moon

from Mongoose by Mead Lake's Most Wanted

/

lyrics

I like to leave my job early
Sit at the bar with a can of beer
Pretendin’ that you still prefer me
And that neon sign’s a chandelier

You used to praise all of my skill
And my strength at certain times
Then you said my kisses were like Nyquil
And my heart pumped cheap turpentine

All the astronauts are hopin’
Gravity won’t put up a fight
All my life I’ve been floatin’
Like someone else’s satellite
But the man in the moon
Is just a cartoon
Tonight

You said you might go back to Texas
I said I’d meet you in my room
I like my letters circumflexless
You like your letters all drowned in your perfume

This diner’s decorated with chickens
That cop is towing my used car
And ain’t it funny how blood thickens
Until your heart becomes a scar

All the astronauts are smokin’
On their intercontinental flight
All my life I’ve been mopin’
Like a long lost meteorite
But the man in the moon
Is just a cartoon
Tonight
