Man On The Moon Lyrics

Words and Music by Jerry Parker Chamberlain ©1980 Cancel and Eat (ASCAP) I saw Mr. Moon last night, you know he's on the rise There's something in his eyes I've never seen before There's some kind of magic here, he's so full of surprises He'll hypnotize like the lull of a lullaby Carry me home in my dreams, nothing's the way it seems Give up my world, now it's all too absurd What has happened to me Man in the moon, I was shooting for a star much higher Man in the moon, there's no life nowhere near I'm dying to get out of here Lord don't leave me high and dry, let me fly Oh the moon is a yellow man, eclipsed inside his cage Concealed from public rage, faith our father Well I can't smile anymore, oh end this masquerade Let the nightmare fade, kill the gilded calf I see someone in my dreams Who was born to die and rise to redeem So pay no attention to that man behind the curtain Will this upstart ever stop Man in the moon, man in the moon Man in the moon, I'm the man in the moon Man in the moon, I'm the man in the moon Lord, don't leave me here
