Lyrics The Lemon Twigs

The Lemon Twigs

Moon

There are simple people who don't agree with the life I've chosen

The things I want to do

They spend all their time walking

The same dirt road to the same old home

Their lives were in between

They've dreamed but they haven't seen

Hey man they're mean

Don't pay em no mind

They'll say "The moon looks a lot like a toenail tonight"

Say, "I hope it doesn't disappear

Cause there's something about walking around in the pale moonlight

Makes me feel like I'm gonna get out of here

Like I'm gonna get out of here"

Tell your mama you want fun and this ain't none

No more "Calm down son, there's so much time"

Hey mom you weren't the archetype

We resent people with lives, we resent tall guys

We resent those who know who they want to be

Wish that was me

And all the people on this no good, dirty street

They say "The moon looks a lot like a toenail tonight"

Say "I hope it doesn't disappear

Cause there's something about walking around in the pale moonlight

Makes me feel like I'm gonna get out of here

Like I'm gonna get out of here"

Here is where you go to die

This town wasn't made for young guys

And I won't make my mother cry anymore

They say "The moon looks a lot like a toenail tonight"

Say "I hope it doesn't disappear

Cause there's something about walking around in the pale moonlight

Makes me feel like I'm gonna get out of here

Like I'm gonna get out of here"
