You Pretend To Be The Moon

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
