Moon (Django's Version)

I sat on a rock in the middle of the lake

I could see the moon through a gap in the clouds

Orion rose diagonally on the left

So I knew that the way I was facing was South

I felt like a graft on the trunk of a tree

Like I'd never be part of this superset being

I listened to the wind

Blowing the moon across the sky

And I wondered when I'd finally be free

I got up and made my way back to the shore

When I got there I turned a quarter-turn right

The moon's in the east and it only just rose

I could run towards the burning magnesium light!

If I walk towards the moon for long enough

Will I go flying away?

All I need's a ten-foot pole and a treasure map

To live up there someday

Because I like to keep my body warm and my face cold

And a garden on the moon's the perfect place to grow old

I walked on a tangent that's parallel to the surface of the earth

At the point where I was on my way

It started to feel more like climbing a very tall tree

So I climbed and climbed and climbed

My eyes shield my mind like aviator goggles

And I haven't felt real in a very long time

The moon dust is yielding and

Just like a kid now my bedroom ceiling is covered in stars

If I walk towards the moon for long enough

Will I go flying away?

All I need's a ten-foot pole and a treasure map

To live up there someday

Because I like to keep my body warm and my face cold

And a garden on the moon's the perfect place to grow old

If I walk towards the moon for long enough

Will I go flying away?

All I need's a ten-foot pole and a treasure map

To live up there someday

Because I like to keep my body warm and my face cold

And a garden on the moon's the perfect place to grow old
