lyrics

Moondays dragging on
There’s no sense of time at all
No break from the glum
Moondays in squats and slums
Rain streams down the scaffolding
So strange to come home
To grand-façade buildings

We don’t know what’s really worse
Bright Street tack or Old Town dirt
Living on the dark side of the earth

Moondays pale and wan
Baggy eyes and dusty rooms
Now the sun has gone
No natural flowers bloom
Moondays just the ones
Genetic engineers can grow
Blue, grey, vermillion
That creep from drains and gutter-flow

We don’t know what’s really worse
Knowing that there’s light elsewhere, or
Living on the dark side of the earth
