You pretend to be the moon Infinitely far away And you're always leaving soon But what you want, you'll never say You pretend to be the moon Looking down upon us all Always taking a dim view Feeling cold and blue and small You've seen your friends and lovers die The weepy ends, but you don't cry Remember when we'd wave goodbye? At least I tried You pretend to be the moon With another secret face Always only passing through Because you come from outer space You pretend to be the moon Old and fat and made of stone But I've seen you in the nude When you thought you were alone
