Chasing the Moon

Walking on a tightrope, the circus runs wild

I'm standing on the gallows a solitary child

Fallen and mangled way back in June

Might as well have been chasing the moon

The war is a diamond, we're drenched in fear

It's gonna be another really hard year

The rich men are floating like a child's balloon

It all went down while you were chasing the moon

Don't drink the water, buyer beware

A family unwound in a cloak of despair

Another child gunned down on a lazy afternoon

While we should have been chasing the moon

Postcards of destruction, a hundred years in the making

I feel ice cracking like I see hearts breaking

Eden is burning, there's another typhoon

Might have to go chasing the moon

I've let myself go, we're at another dead end

My time here on earth I'd like to extend

We'll no longer sing this woeful tune

If we're strong enough to go chasing the moon
