She liked to see herself as the sun,
Later she made me into the moon.
It sounded fine to me.
Who wouldn't want to be illuminating lovers,
Or controlling the sea?
Who wouldn't want to be the moon?
The sun in my eyes, her beauty could blind.
She sent me to the shadows every night.
When the revolutions came, I shivered, thin
She eclipsed me by the cycle of her whim.
When she said all this,
I wasn't so hot on the moon, I was
Not so hot on the moon.
Every day I watch the world go by,
Every night I see the planet die.
Every morning is like yesterday,
She is always half a world away.
And I'm just diamonds on the evergreen.
I cause the wild dog to serenade.
But I can always hear her in this atmosphere,
Her jealous star is tapping at the end of every night.
Do you want to be the moon? I was...
Do you want to be the moon?
