New Moon

by SimianSavant

Out of my window looking at the night
when the clock says it's mid-afternoon
starboard light out and port out of sight
the sun high as a kite
drunk on the light of the moon

You've got a feeling something's amiss
you know that I've been on your mind
ditch magic stars and make me your wish
on the moon, the new moon

You'll stay up all night, chasing the light
wishin on a missin star
til you realize who's guidin your eyes
up above the world so far

Trippin the switch inside of your mind
as you circle around the lagoon
scuttle your ship and leave it behind
seek and you'll find, leading the blind
by the moon, the new moon

Look in the mirror, I'll show you what's real
come dancing with me in the dark
drink me tonight, and I'll make you feel
the new moon: I'm the moon

We'll stay up all night, chasing the light
wondering who we are
the spark in the sky fillin your eye
watchin your every move from afar

You'll stay up all night, chasing the light
imagining things on the radar
luminal lies fillin your eyes
howl at the moon: Owooooo!

Fuel the fire with evening rising
oceans full of lunatics
hearts unfold Iike flowers before me
in the dark I rise anew

Starlight drowned in beams of Theia
tidal sirens call your name
Noah's fountain burst to slay us,
bid the sea give up its claim

Starlight drowned in beams of Theia
tidal sirens call your name
Stella Maris thy Polaris
setting shipwrecked souls aflame

Turnin you on the edge of the shore
you're feelin the pull of the waves
filled with joyful mortal madness
save us from the light of day
