Yellow Moon Songtext

von John Austin

One nation over God swarm like arrogant houseflies
Descending with power lines under their eyes
Still I follow them down 'cause it's all I got to go by
For the moment I must rely on the anger they share with me

I didn't get the job, I can't get over it
It appears there ain't nothing here left for me to quit
I didn't get the girl, I'm getting ill of health
When your treasure is a question you forfeit wealth
And I say

Don't the night sky look brighter than it used to
Don't the night sky look brighter than it used to
Oh me oh my

What am I gonna do?
What am I gonna do?
Without you
I'm a weeping willow who
Dies dreaming
Beneath the looming yellow moon

Nervous systems cackle under a monochrome sky
Daylight is obsolete, songbirds were forced to fly
The central air sneezes, the monitor dies
And my rib cage rattles till my heart revives
Only for a moment till the stars arrive
And they ask me if I think its time to go back inside
And I say

Don't the night sky look brighter than it used to
Don't the night sky look brighter than it used to
Oh me oh my

What am I gonna do?
What am I gonna do?
Without you
I'm a weeping willow who
Dies dreaming
Beneath the looming yellow moon

One nation in a tantrum and the universe beyond
Where the violence is infinite, the energy moves on
Like a fat cat pawing at the field mice he has freed
Like a flower pot laughing at the folly of a seed
Like leviathan snapping at the restless sea
Without you I have become my enemy
Oh give ear to the lyric of this castaway
Consider the whimper of a soldier crying fire away

Don't the night sky look brighter than it used to
Don't the night sky look brighter than it used to
Oh me oh my

What am I gonna do?
What am I gonna do?
Without you
Without you I'm a weeping willow who
Dies dreaming
Beneath the looming yellow moon
Yellow moon
Yellow moon

Yellow moon
