Total Eclipse of the Moon

Run and beat the shadow

Run and beat the shadow

Of the quickly setting sun

All the tides in the ocean

Couldn't pull it back

The eclipse had already begun

And it turned inside you

With a grind of gears

Like the blast from a point blank gun

All the shifts in the planets

Went into action

Like an engine just switched on

And left you

Standing with the shadow of the earth between you

Like an artery blocked by the things you locked up

And it wouldn't matter what went on between you

Because your heart just stopped when she stopped the clock

You don't mean a drop in the ocean to her

Now a whole different shudder of love run through her

And it's not a moment too soon

The total eclipse of the moon

Look inside the telescope

Look into the lens

Understand what the distance is

All the forces of nature

Coming together

In a total lunar eclipse

Try to hold it together

In a moment of madness

With the kiss of a strangers lips

All the shifts in the planets

Kick into action

And the heart in your chest just rips

And leaves you

Standing with the shadow of the earth between you

Like an artery blocked by the things you locked up

And it wouldn't matter what went on between you

Because your heart just stopped when she stopped the clock

You don't mean a drop in the ocean to her

Now a whole different shudder of love run through her

And it's not a moment too soon

The total eclipse of the moon

Repeat 1st verse

Standing with the shadow of the earth between you

Like an artery blocked by the things you locked up

And it wouldn't matter what went on between you

Because your heart just stopped when she stopped the clock

You don't mean a drop in the ocean to her

Now a whole different shudder of love run through her

And it's not a moment too soon

The total eclipse of the moon
