You scorched one field to sow
another meadow
shot the dollar god with your bow
and left for the meadow
to look for the moon
to look for the moon in the man
You left the town with its dazzlin' lights
you left the car keys and the credit cards
stopped the clock, tore a hole in the night
and took a last look at the rut
that was your life
when you left to
look for the moon in the man
The town had turned to so much salt
in the distance when you looked back
you kept on going
you had no alternative
you were all in disarray
a run-a-way train off the track
then you had a vision
of your destiny
No more grafting
in some fat cat's pay
sun light shafting
brand new day
Now you've placed your faith
in intuition
you've left the poor drowned
rat race
your greatest ambition
to look for the moon
to look for the moon
to look for the moon
in the man
the moon in the man
the moon in the man
the moon in the man
the moon in the man
