Underwater Moonlight Lyrics

He was white and she was white
As only statues are.
50 years they stood there looking
Stupid by a jar.
One night in mid-August when the moonlight got too strong
They climbed off their pedestal and then they sang this song.

Past the gun emplacement and the
Bones as white as bleach.
Through the rats and ivy 'til they
Came out on a beach.
Out into the ocean 'til they disappeared from view.
Honey when it gets you there's just nothing you can do.

Underwater moonlight, sets the body free
Underwater moonlight, baby you and me
Underwater moonlight (x2)

He was pink and she was pink
And onward they did row.
Didn't see the giant squid, though,
It was fairly slow.
When they hit the bottom they were well and truly dead.
The statues took their place, and then they rode back home instead.

Underwater moonlight, take your baby down
Underwater moonlight, watch your baby drown
And in the moonlight
Underwater moonlight (x 3)

I can take you down
Through the sea (moonlight)
You can feed the fish (moonlight)
Why don't you feed the fish? (moonlight)
Why don't you feed the fish? (moonlight)

Underwater moonlight, sets the body free
Underwater moonlight, baby you and me
Underwater moonlight (x4)
