Underwater Moonlight

He was white and she was white

As only statues are

Fifty years they stood there looking

Stupid by a jar

One night in mid August when the moonlight got too strong

They climbed off their pedestal and then they sang this song

Past the gun emplacement and the

Bones as white as bleach

Through the rats and ivy til' they

Came out on a beach

Out into the ocean til' they disappeared from view

Honey when it gets you there's just nothing you can do.

Underwater moonlight, sets the body free

Underwater moonlight, baby you and me

Underwater moonlight, underwater moonlight

He was pink and she was pink

And onward they did row

Didn't see the giant squid, though

It was fairly slow

When they hit the bottom they were well and truly dead

The statues took their place, and then they rode back home instead

Underwater moonlight

Take your baby down

Underwater moonlight

Watch your baby drown

With love

And in the moonlight

Underwater moonlight

Underwater moonlight

Underwater moonlight

Underwater moonlight

Underwater moonlight

Sets the body free

Underwater moonlight

Baby you and me

Underwater moonlight

Underwater moonlight

Underwater moonlight
