A song I wrote in 1999 in my angsty late teens
. For voice & guitar.
Under Earth and Over Moon
Butterfly clips and smoking guns
Pretty hair and burning lungs
Everyone's gone and no-one's here
leaving us with smile and tear
What do I care, what do you care
Life is sweet and so unfair
Come with me for a very good day
While everyone else had gone away
Make it last if it's any good
Join us living in the hood
How we live is still a boon
Dig under earth and over moon
Tall green trees and littered ground
Loving nature while you're bound
Screaming out in silent pain
While coming up from where you've lain
Clouded sunsets, acid drops
Spotless house with shredded mops
Grafitti scrawled across the walls
Climbing high means lots of falls
Make it last if it's any good
Join us living in the hood
How we live is still a boon
Dig under earth and over moon
Driving home while on a break
Running fast for all Hell's sake
Liking just what you all hate
Surrendering to our bonded fate
Make us laugh at sobering fact
Break into Hell with little tact
Drinking from a punctured goon
Dig under earth and over moon
Dig under earth and over moon
