Girl In The Moon

(album: Man Of Colours - 1987)

You got a long face, no place
Everywhere a bad case of nowhere news
And the weather man telling me
All of the time
"...looks like rain..."

Put on my Cadillac boots
And my magazine jeans
Though the colours don't rhyme
And I won't stop walking
'til I turn the blue world upside down
I say "Hey!"
to the girl in the moon

There's a mad clock ticking
Inside of my brain
And it might just explode
I got a subway running
Right over my roof
I can't hear a sound
And there's Bayman and Robin
Leaking into my room
Through a hole in the wall
And there's Jane and Tarzan
With their favourite monkey
...what's his name?
I say Hey! to the girl in the moon

There's a mad clock ticking
Inside of my brain
And the colours don't rhyme
I'm gonna stand here waiting
'til the girl in the moon
Comes back down

I say "Hey!"
to the girl in the moon
