You Pretend To Be The Moon Lyrics

you pretend to be the moon
infinitely far away
and you're always leaving soon
but what you want, you'll never say

you pretend to be the moon
looking down upon us all
always taking a dim view
feeling cold and blue and small

you've seen your friends and lovers die
the weepy ends, but you don't cry
remember when we'd wave goodbye?
at least I tried

you pretend to be the moon
with another secret face
always only passing through
because you come from outer space

you pretend to be the moon
old and fat and made of stone
but I've seen you in the nude
when you thought you were alone
