Surface Of The Moon

Intro: 7x Snow in a soulless city Covers up the tracks in the road As a wastrel buys her cigarettes And wipes her pretty nose Like a part-time Elvis imi - tator These streets I knew so well Have been pasted beyond recog - nition With a temporary smell Now the midnight train eases out / Leaving everyone ma - rooned And without her It might as well be the surface of the moon 2x So from the well-swept streets of Jackson Heights To the dockside drudgery Everything is now a replica Of what it used to be But since they tarted up the trenches And painted the bridges blue It see - ms less like a home to me Than just a place they bury you Now we're lit up like a cathedral / In our frozen concrete room And without her It might as well be the - surface of the moon Break: So I need her and I love her That is true But I'm stuck here like some shipwreck Instead of holding on to you When they beat out the tramps And patch up the slums Everything will be fine There'll be a new façade for us to hide be - hind 2x So on the ancient trails of our coupling In the places we used to meet I am a - mazed by the lack of memories That I thought would flood through me And the riverside where we first kissed has now been reduced To a phony old world market where only shoppers get seduced Now your arms embrace me strangely / in your unfamiliar room / And for all I care / it might as well be the surface of the moon Yeah for / all I care it might as well be the surface of the moon Outro: (REP 7x START FADING AT 4TH)
