A song about the effect of the moon on mood, and rolling with the waxing and waning.
lyrics
Lunatic Desires
Waxing gibbous is messing with my mind
All the signs say "Road Ahead Closed"
But the diversion route is long and contrived
So let's jump the signs and carry on
The Moon sends tides running through my mind
Sends me crashing to the rocks
But the easy way is littered with traps
So I'll take the hit and just roll on
Chorus:
I seem to thrive on Lunatic Desires
On dreams of silly magnitude
But I will find a fellow astronaut
And we'll keep cycling on
The dance between the moon and water
Is beautiful and black as night
A gentleman's excuse me I will not offer
The floor is mine, its music too
The light is soft, it flatters faces
Brings them to light in new way
The moon will dance across horizons
And some other side of us is shown
Chorus:-
The moon is kind, it cools my head
The summer sun gets to my skin
Its gravity it seems in flux and fluid
Sometimes it pushes, others pulls
So I will take a daily moondance
I will flow with every phase
If nearly full, I know the portents
If very new I know delight
Chorus: -
Outro: -
Crescent shaped crescendos
Darksides coming soon
Waxing, waning, soul's reflection
Is it any wonder, is it any wonder we howl at the moon?

I didn't think I would like this record but it's so infectious in its ability to change from prog to post rock then to psychedelic and onwards into alternative metal. Such an amazing feat to introduce the saxophone and it sounds so cool, this record is outstanding. Darknight
