Moon Man (I'm Waiting On You)

(album: Rocking Horse Head - 1996)

Can anybody hear me?
Is there anybody there?
Is anybody listening?
Is there anyone that cares?
I've been so long in silence
I'm not sure if you exist
You may have sent some signals
But I don't know what I've missed

'Cause I'm your own mad man in the moon
I've been alone so long I'm a loon
Up in an all night cable cartoon
So call, fax, email
Call, fax, email soon

I'm waiting on you...
The place I'm looking out from
Can't be reached from you by plane
I ain't got lakes and oceans
'Cause I don't have any rain
But all my days are damp
Because I tend to cry so hard
For one gone Earthling girl
That'd kiss a face this pocked and scarred...
I am your own mad man in the moon
I've been alone so long I'm a loon
Up in an allnight cable cartoon
So call, fax, email
Call, fax, email soon
I'm waiting on you
I'm waiting on you
I'm waiting on you
I'm waiting on you

And if I gave you my green cheese smile
Would I frighten the fair haired child?
I'm a myth and a folklore tale
But I'm also a plain, straight male...
If you'd like confirmation
I'll be glad to cross the sky
'Cause I need inspiration
And a real good contact high
I know I'd love to love you
If you ain't afraid to fly
My 1800's open, baby
I'll be standing by
'Cause I'm your own mad man in the moon
I've been alone so long I'm a loon
Up in an all night cable cartoon
So call, fax, email
Call, fax, email soon
I'm waiting on you
I'm waiting on you
I'm waiting on you
I'm waiting on you
