Man In The Moon - Lyrics - Daniel Amos

I saw Mr. Moon last night You know he's on the rise There's something in his eyes I've never seen before There's some kind of magic here He's so full of surprises He'll hypnotize like the lull of a lullaby Carry me home in my dreams Nothing's the way that it seems Give up my world Now it's all too absurd What was happened to me? Man in the moon I was shooting for a star much higher Man in the moon There's no life nowhere near I'm dying to get out of here Lord, don't leave me high and dry Let me fly Oh, the moon is a yellow man Eclipsed inside his cage Concealed from public rage Faith of our father Well, I can't smile anymore Oh, end this masquerade Let the nightmare fade Kill the gilded calf I see someone in my dreams Who was born to die and rise to redeem So pay no attention to that man behind the curtain Will this upstart ever stop? I'm the man in the moon Lord, don't leave me here
