Moon And Mars Songtext
von Rick Altizer

The sun is setting as the day begins
The moon is soaking up the light
Don′t think about the world
Just dream about the world to come
Deep in the pocket of the night
Change rattles, rumbles and it bites
Nothing is free, everyone is gone
Just someone on the street corner singing

Don't throw it all away
It′s all a game now, baby
Moon and Mars are made of clay
Another world, you know it's waiting out there somewhere
Kiss the sky and walk away


Poets and politicians out to lunch
Nobody wants to save the world
Another day, another love song for the underfed
There's thieves in the market of desire
Wearing their crooked little smiles
Invisible tears falling from your eyes
And someone on the street corner singing

Don′t throw it all away
It′s all a game now, baby
Moon and Mars are made of clay
Another world, you know it's waiting out there somewhere
Kiss the sky and walk away
With your open appetite
Leave your souvenirs under every traffic light
We can watch them float away
Float away

The politicians all have parachutes
And all the poets carry guns
Street corner singer gets run down
Before his song is done
There′s thieves in the market of desire
Wearing their crooked little smiles
Nothing is free, all your pocket change is gone
And there's a new guy on the street corner singing


Don′t throw it all away
It's all a game now, baby
Moon and Mars are made of clay
Another world, you know it′s waiting out there somewhere
Kiss the sky and walk away
Don't throw it all away
There's a moon in Mars now, baby
Tomorrow we can watch them float away
Float away
