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,
Oh, nothing's the way it seems,
Give up my world, now it's all too absurd,
What has happened to me'

Man in the moon, (I'm a man in the moon)
I was shooting for a star much higher, (star much higher)
Man in the moon, (I'm a 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, (oh yes, a yellow man)
Concealed from public rage,
Faith 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, (sweet, sweet 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'

Man in the moon,
Man in the moon,
Man in the moon, I'm the man in the moon,
Man in the moon, I'm the man in the moon, (Lord, don't leave me here)
Man in the moon, I'm the man in the moon, (don't leave me here)
Man in the moon, I'm the man in the moon, (don't leave me here)
(fade)
