Lyric Drunk on the Moon


Tight-slacked clad girls on the graveyard shift
Neath the cement stroll
Catch the midnight drift
Cigar chewing charlie
In that newspaper nest
grifting hot horse tips
On who s running the best

And I m blinded by the neon
Don t try and change my tune
Cause I thought I heard a saxophone
I m drunk on the moon

And the moon s a silver slipper
It s pouring champagne stars
Broadway s like a serpent
Pulling shiny top-down cars
Laramer is teeming
With that undulating beat
And some Bonneville is screaming
It s way wilder down the street

(Chorus)

Hearts flutter and race
The moon s on the wane
Tarts mutter their dream hopes
The night will ordain
Come schemers and dancers
Cherry delight
As a Cleveland-bound Greyhound
And it cuts throught the night

And I ve hocked all my yesterdays
Don t try and change my tune
Cause I thought I heard a saxophone
I m drunk on the moon
