Big Moon
Big moon above me, copper and goldApricot pie up in the skyI can't get no sleep long as you roamI guess I'll just follow you homeI saw the moon roll into the skyLow above the groundBig, full and mighty brightLeaving happy fools all aroundIt seemed a sign of good things comingEveryone agreedWe left the house and screen door, runningFell out, right there into the streetShe seemed to hang there against the lawBigger than allowedEvery kid had brought a dogAnd then they all began to howlYou should have seen us all there spinningSilly as loonsPretty soon the whole damn neighborhoodGrinning, out there under the moonBig moon above me, copper and goldApricot pie up in the skySongtexteI can't get no sleep long as you roamI guess I'll just follow you homeEven jaded people stoppedStaring up in the skyI saw a spell-bound traffic copLooking up and letting all lanes flyAnd everywhere was indecisionNowhere left to driveQuit the car and cut that enginePeople, we must get out aliveTomorrow I know we are going to rememberHow we felt so alive and we really surrendered toThe warm spring night and the full moon lightAnd the smell of life when you breathe it in againEverybody's cell phone diedToo much mighty moonAll the TV screens went whiteIt was turning into one great nightEveryone met their neighborsSome they never knewI know it probably sounds like a fableBut honey, you've never seen such a moonBig moon above me, copper and goldApricot pie up in the skyI can't get no sleep long as you roamI guess I'll just follow you homeBig Moon, we're going to follow you home Aus Songtexte Mania
