Watch The Moon Come Down

Pre>watch the moon come down

In this dirty town there's nothing going for me

No shows going down that I would want to see

Nothing but the midnight train

In this shady street on a top floor flat

Women take their sheets down to the laundromat

And as the night falls on this to-----wn

I'm going to watch the moon come down

Watch the moon come down

I'm gonna watch the moon come down

Watch it come down

As the workmen walk home, reflected in the car chrome

Splashing through the gutters and the sand

The birds move in the rafters hearing echoes of the laughter

From children in a playground close at hand

And hands inside my pockets, staring at the light sockets

Everyone's been blown out everyone's been thrown out

I said baby baby baby baby baby

If I stay out all night test the midnight train's headlights

Follow the tracks beyond sight to the bend

Now who've I got to let down, tell me somebody with their head down

Bargin' into solid ground in the end in the end, yeah in the end

Waitin for the end, arrive to the end, hey hey

I said baby baby baby baby baby

Watch the moon come down (three times)

Yes I'm going to watch the moon come down

Yeah I'm going to watch the moon come down like a midnight train uh huh

Uh uh I'm going to watch the moon come down watch it come down

Yes I'm going to watch the moon come down, like a midnight train
