Blood Moon
God mapped the universe above us
And pointed us at every little star
I’d never seen them brighter in my life before
They’re getting very near,
They used to seem so far
Are they different when we watched a lifetime ago
When we were young and full of light?
We’re sitting here together feeling very Deja Vu
Underneath the Blood Moon Tonight
Blood Moon,
Underneath the stars tonight,
Shining down on love tonight,
Everything tonight’s all right,
You and me and old Blood Moon
Compared to the stars we’re just two little fishes,
Swimming in an ocean of dreams and wishes
Catching up with life as we wash the dishes
Underneath the Blood Moon tonight
God mapped the universe above us
And pointed us at every little star
I’d never seen them brighter in my life before
They’re getting very near,
They used to seem so far
Are they different when we watched a lifetime ago
When we were young and full of light?
We’re sitting here together feeling very Deja Vu,
Underneath the Blood Moon Tonight

Chorus:
Moses
My name is Moses
Moses
Glory Be!
Moses
My name is Moses
Gonna set my people free!
Hitched a ride with an American guy on his way to Wallsall
He told us stuff about the Philly thing
The findings, the cover ups and all sorts
He was driving left
We were driving right
He dropped us at a Wimpy Bar
In the middle of the night
Chorus:
We were just beginning our mad and crazy ride
He looked to us as if his end was nigh
The things he told us chilled us
And stayed with us through life
They hit us then
and left their scar cause they cut us like a knife
chorus:
And he was on the run
And we were on the run
Running away from something
We were wet around the ears
he wore the faded bloom of years
The bulrush kid pouring out his thoughts and fears
Chorus
He smelled of soap and motor oil
His clothes were clean but threadbare
He spoke in Californian
And all his words just hung there…
They opened up a hole in time
I lost my friends, I lost my mind
They opened up a hole in time
I could see but they were blind
They opened up a hole in time
I was there - is that a crime?
They silenced me and broke my will
Made a fool of me and mine
Took my past and burned it down
And now I live in limbo-land
And if this is life,
Then I’m living on borrowed time
‘Don’t forget me, kids’, he said
‘Oh yeah, my name is Moses’
Chorus:
