Cause every time I hear that melody  
Well, something breaks inside  
And the grapefruit moon, one star shining  
Is more than I can hide

I see the bad moon arising.  
I see trouble on the way.  
I see earthquakes and lightnin’.  
I see bad times today.

Don’t go around tonight,  
Well, it’s bound to take your life,  
There’s a bad moon on the rise.

</div>

It’s just a state of mind  
Freedom and time  
Has got me frozen up inside  
I wanna recognise  
Under this moonlight  
That God is on my side

With senses running wild  
We touched the sky  
It looks like Heaven in my eyes  
Moonlight medicine Keeps me alive  
Don’t let your senses be denied

Won’t you shine  
Some light in my mind  
The more I find  
The more I need your medicine in my life

I feel funny, but I don’t know why  
'Scuse me while I kiss the sky

Somewhere some gray computer nearly closed my file  
This could have been the last time I ever saw you smile  
The darkest night nearly swallowed up my eyes  
But you remembered me 'cause I’m not ready for the sky

you’d better hope and pray  
that you’ll be safe [that you make it safe]  
in your own world [back to your own world]  
you’d better hope and pray  
that you’re gonna awake [that you wake one day]  
back in your own world [in your own world]  
[cause when you sleep at night they don’t hear your cries]  
[in your own world]  
[only time will tell if you can break the spell]  
[back in your own world]

stay with me, stay with me.

</div>

Hush now, don’t you cry.  
Wipe away the teardrop from your eye.

You’re lying safe in bed.  
It was all a bad dream  
Spinning in your head.

Your mind tricked you to feel the pain  
Of someone close to you leaving the game of life

So here it is, another chance.  
Wide awake, you face the day.  
Your dream is over.

Or has it just begun?

</div>

Wake, arise,” loud call the voices  
of Watchmen so high in the tower,  
“Wake up, you town Jerusalem!”

Midnight’s hour is now approaching  
They call to us with lucid voices:  
Where are the clever virgins now?

Behold, the bridegroom comes  
Rise up, your lanterns take!  
Alleluia!

I did my best, it wasn’t much  
I couldn’t feel, so I tried to touch  
I’ve told the truth, I didn’t come to fool you  
And even though it all went wrong  
I’ll stand before the Lord of Song  
With nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah

Wake up, the sun is shining  
It’s time to play  
But there’s a deep dark fog inside you  
That never burns away

I used to think maybe you loved me  
Now baby I’m sure  
And I just can’t wait 'till the day  
When you knock on the door  
Now every time I go for the mailbox  
Gotta hold myself down  
'Cause I just can’t wait  
‘till you write me your comin’ around

I’m walkin’ on sunshine, woh-oh  
I’m walkin’ on sunshine, woh-oh  
I’m walkin’ on sunshine, woh-oh  
And don’t it feel good?  
Hey, all right now  
And don’t it feel good?

It’s like walking in sunlight  
When the whole world is covered in rain clouds  
You’re walking in sunlight  
Finding the truth and living it loud  
Yeah, when you know what’s right  
It’s like walking in sunlight, sunlight  
Oh, it’s amazing to me  
How someone else can find  
The light that they need  
Radiating in your eyes  
Then it warms their heart that’s beating  
And suddenly your leading them  
To that beautiful, beautiful feeling

I see trees of green  
Red roses too  
I see them bloom  
For me and for you  
And I think to myself  
What a wonderful world.

What a wonderful, wonderful, world this would be  
What a wonderful, wonderful, wonderful, wonderful world.  
Don’t know much about history  
Don’t know much biology  
Don’t know much about science fic  
Don’t know much about the French I took  
But I do know that I love you  
And I know that if you love me too  
What a wonderful, wonderful world this would be.

There she was just a-walkin down the street,

The only one I know, has come to take me away  
The only one I know, is mine when she stitches me  
The only one I see, has found an aching in me  
The only one I see, has turned her tongue into me

Everyone has been burned before, everybody knows the pain

The only one I know, never cries, never open her eyes  
The only one I know, wide awake and then she’s away  
The only one I see, is mine when she walks down our street  
The only one I see, has carved her way in to me

Go on and hold her till the screaming is gone  
Go on believe her when she tells you  
nothing’s wrong  
But I’m the only one  
Who’ll walk across the fire for you  
I’m the only one  
Who’ll drown in my desire for you  
It’s only fear that makes you run  
The demons that you’re hiding from  
When all your promises are gone  
I’m the only one

Promises are shit  
We speak the way we breathe  
Present air will have to do  
Rearrange and see it through
