The Moon Songtext

von Patricia Barber

Should I leave Erebus
To his own device
What Chaos
When the curtain rises
And the houselights dim

With whitecake
On my face
The actress backstage
Contemplates
Laying a Universal egg

Still a broken heart
Is a broken heart
And Illumination
Is in fact
Performance

In the dark
In the cold
In the sky
I can fly

I am old
But I can see
For miles
And miles

I am silver
I am gold
I am white
I am blue

I am rock
I am chaste
I am time
I am truth

When twilight falls
Among the stars
I sit and tinker
With your moods
I hear your thoughts
I move the tides
I am your God
I am your Muse
I can be fire
I can be war
I am the daughter of Zeus
But tonight
There won't be light
Cause I can't shine
Without you
