Lyrics

She liked to see herself as the sun
Later she made me into the moon
It sounded fine to me
Who wouldn't want to be illuminating lovers
Or controlling the sea?
Who wouldn't want to be the moon?
The sun in my eyes, her beauty could blind
She sent me to the shadows every night
When the revolutions came, I shivered, thin
She eclipsed me by the cycle of her whim
When she said all this
I wasn't so hot on the moon, I was
Not so hot on the moon
Every day I watch the world go by
Every night I see the planet die
Every morning is like yesterday
She is always half a world away
And I'm just diamonds on the evergreen
I cause the wild dog to serenade
But I can always hear her in this atmosphere
Her jealous star is tapping at the end of every night
Do you want to be the moon? I was...
Do you want to be the moon?
