Songtexte Red Moon (2020 Remastered Version) - Will Wood and the Tapeworms

Red, red moon
Keep on rising
The sunset soon
Indeed will bleed in my horizon
The crescent rests, tethered to the west
Waxing to the rhythm writhing in my chest
That crack between the watercolor sky and sea is the
Corner where you're born in the mist

I might deride the tide
'Cause I'm pulled as it pools about my feet
Towards your stolen light
While you're holding my slight gravity

Well, I walk the equator, chasing the light
Little do I know it orbits close behind
I might remember or might assume
But I only turn around every once in a red, red moon
I said I only turn around every once in a red, red moon

Red, red moon
When will your shadows break?
Tell the truth
What are you hiding behind that face?
If matter's in then I might space out
Why can't I take in what you've been putting out?
Why do I reject while you endlessly reflect?
You're projecting your perfection astounds

Nighttime, please hide my eyes
So the man up there won't watch me stare
Teach me to make moonshine
And we'll get drunk on the spirits of the air

Well, I walk the equator, chasing the light
Little do I know it orbits close behind
I might remember or might assume
But I only turn around every once in a red, red moon
I said I only turn around every once in a red, red moon

The constellations form infinite paisleys in the sky
The condensation tumbles down and erases my sight
And is it in the nightmare map of the cosmos up high?
Or is it in the signs?
Or stranger still, just in my eyes?

Well, I walk the equator, chasing the light
Little do I know it orbits close behind
I might remember or might assume
But I only turn around every once
I said I walk the equator, chasing the light
Little do I know it orbits close behind
I might remember or might assume
But I only turn around every once in a red, red moon
I said I only turn around every once in a red, red moon, oh
I said I only turn around every once in a red, red moon!
