By the Light Songtext
von John Doe

Step out onto your balcony at night and watch your city in bloom
Listen to the sounds of guns going off
Try to sleep by the light of the moon
Sleep by the light of the moon

The battle that′s fought between women and men
Who pretend that they try to be true
Is a battle that's lost and paid at the cost
Sleep by the light of the moon
Sleep by the light of the moon

Whoa, whoa
Sleep by the light of the moon


Pretty young girls touch the back of my neck
And say, "Baby, can I come home with you?"
I tell them, "Little sister, I′m already in love
And I can sleep by the light of the moon"

Most of my friends are like Indians
Shooting arrows straight up into the blue
That may not make 'em right but it makes 'em feel like
They can sleep by the light of the moon
Sleep by the light of the moon

Whoa, whoa
Sleep by the light of the moon
Sleep by the light of the moon
