about

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?
