Luna (The Moon)

She's in my veins
Gold in my veins
She is my pain
And my joy
Time and again
Waxing or waning
I am insane
For la luna
Madame de la luna.

When she is sleepy
She's creepy, mysterious and wicked
When she is full
She is full of promise and joy
Beaming her smile
All the while
Across heaven's horizons
Weaving her dreams
Into hearts of lonely boys.

But when I'm under the moon with you
I'm in heaven
When I'm under the moon with you
I'm in heaven.

She'll bring out the killer
Bring out the lover.

She loves a tyrant, a pirate, a dreamer, a crook and a liar
A joker, a trickster, romancer, a dancer and fool
Cold as the frost but in her heart is a fire
Hanging around the dark throat of the night like a jewel.

But when I'm under the moon with you
I'm in heaven
When I'm under the moon with you
I'm in heaven.

Moon, moon, delirious moon
Alone in the blue
Like a silver balloon
Moon, moon, delirious moon
Dancing a waltz
To a lunatic's tune
Madame de la luna
Bewitching is she.

I cannot live without her
She's scattering stars
Dancing with mars
Cheek to cheek
With la luna
Cheek to cheek
With la luna.

Madame de la luna
She sings as she brings in the harvest
She pulls out her tongue
At the cruel ethiopian sun
When she's hiding
The dark can bring a terrible vengeance
A pounce in the shadows
A moment alone with a gun.

Adrift on a sea of indigo silk
Passionate like an arabian torch
Enticing two lovers to jump off a bridge
Changing the man into the wolf.

Sometimes she's a terrible flirt
Causing mischief and mayhem wherever she can
Sometimes she's a woman that hurts
Sometimes she is a man.

Encouraging drunks to sing coarse serenades
Lighting the way for the young renegades.

But when I'm under the moon with you
I'm in heaven
When I'm under the moon with you
I'm in heaven.

She says better times are gonna come soon
Better times are gonna come soon
Trust in the moon
Trust in the moon.
