Man on the Moon

Verse 1

Old man on the porch at quarter past nine

Telescope aimed at a pale cold sea

I count the craters like coins in a jar

Nobody up there is waiting for me

Pre-Chorus

They say a man is walking where no wind blows

And I believe it cause I believe in ghosts

Chorus

Man on the moon

Man on the moon

Are you as lonely as I am tonight

Man on the moon

Man on the moon

Somebody left you a light on up high

Verse 2

My wife used to call it the lamp of the lost

She passed in the winter and I kept the habit

Now I talk to a rock and I talk to the dust

And I ask it the questions that nobody answers

Pre-Chorus

They say a man is walking where no rain falls

And I can hear him walking through my walls

Chorus

Man on the moon

Man on the moon

Are you as lonely as I am tonight

Man on the moon

Man on the moon

Somebody left you a light on up high

Bridge

If you ever come down

Knock twice on my door

I'll leave the porch lamp burning

I'll leave the porch lamp burning

Chorus

Man on the moon

Man on the moon

Are you as lonely as I am tonight

Man on the moon

Man on the moon

Somebody left you a light on up high
