Moonstruck

Crane my neck to see the supermoon, as the top deck gets hotboxed

Swore ourselves we’d have a Shandy Summer, we ain’t slumming, no

You gotta detox to retox

When the light falls, in silver slabs, through the window, a selenograph

When the light falls, I illuminate, I am moonstruck, it’s a welcome fate

Night takes colour from the dusk now, paints it crimson in my jaw

(I tumble from the pedestal)

Count the stray hairs in my wet shave, costly words from mouth of cheapskate

Sticky floors and stiff applause

When the light falls, in silver slabs, through the window, a selenograph

When the light falls, I illuminate, I am moonstruck, it’s a welcome fate

When the light falls, in silver slabs, through the window, a selenograph

When the light falls, I illuminate, I am moonstruck, it’s a welcome fate

It’s hard to find the romance, in a town not known for sunsets

Bad vibes at the toast station, your victories, your regrets

Let us die in comfort, laid upon electric three-piece suite

You and me, antipodes, the Earth’s collapse, we finally meet
