DRUNK ON THE MOON

TOM WAITS

Lyrics and music:Thomas Alan Waits

Key:

T ight-slacked clad girls on the graveyard shif t

M ake the cement stroll

C atch the midnight drift

C igar chewing Charlie

I n the newspaper nest

G rifting hot-horse tips

O n who's running the bes t

A nd I'm blinded by the neon

D on't try and change my tune

C ause I thought I heard a saxophone

I 'm drunk on the moon

And the moon's a silver slipper, it's pouring champagne stars

And Broadway's like a serpent pulling shiny top-down cars

Larimer is teeming with that undulated beat

As some Bonneville is screaming its way wildly down the street

And I'm blinded by the neon

Don't try and change my tune

I thought I heard a saxophone

I'm drunk on the moon

Hearts flutter and race, the moon's on the wane

Tarts mutter their dream hopes the night will ordain

Come schemers and dancers, cherry delight

As a Cleveland-bound Greyhound, and it cuts through the night
