Noel Gallagher - Stones At The Moon

Verse 1

You were stood on the corner of a nowhere town

With your hands in your pockets and your eyes cast down

Said the world don’t spin like it used to do

But it never really listened back to you

There’s a crack in the sky where the daylight bleeds

And a voice in your head that you don’t believe

You keep shouting loud but it don’t ring true

Like a broken choir with a missing cue

Pre-Chorus

And all the dreams you had are fading into blue

But you don’t let ‘em go

Chorus

You’re throwing stones at the moon tonight

Trying to start up a heavenly fight

But the stars don’t fall and they don’t reply

Still you aim and you wonder why

Yeah you’re chasing ghosts in a silver sky

With a heart that don’t wanna die

Even when there’s nothing left to prove

You’re still throwing stones at the moon

Verse 2

There’s a flicker of hope in a cheap hotel

Where the truth don’t stick and the lies won’t tell

You got one last song that you never wrote

And it’s stuck somewhere in your throat

All the roads that you walked just fade to grey

And the friends that you lost never came your way

But you carry on like you always do

With a worn-out dream that you swear is new

Pre-Chorus

And every word you said is echoing the truth

But you don’t wanna know

Chorus

You’re throwing stones at the moon tonight

Trying to start up a heavenly fight

But the stars don’t fall and they don’t reply

Still you aim and you wonder why

Yeah you’re chasing ghosts in a silver sky

With a heart that don’t wanna die

Even when there’s nothing left to prove

You’re still throwing stones at the moon

Bridge

Maybe someday when the lights go out

You’ll find what it was you were shouting about

In the silence where the answers hide

There’s a universe you kept inside

Outro Chorus

So keep throwing stones at the moon tonight

Let it burn in the back of your mind

‘Cause the dream’s still there if you hold on tight

Even lost in the dead of night

Yeah you’re chasing ghosts but you’re still alive

And that’s reason enough to try

Even when there’s nothing left to lose

Keep throwing stones at the moon
