Rick Altizer - Moon and Mars lyrics

The sun is setting as the day begins The moon is soaking up the light Don't think about the world, just dream about the world to come Deep in the pocket of the night Change rattles, rumbles, and it bites Nothing is free, everyone is gone Just someone on the street corning singing... Don't throw it all away It's just a game now, baby Moon and Mars are made of clay Another world, you know it's waiting out there somewhere Kiss the sky and walk away Poets and politicians out to lunch Nobody wants to save the world Another day, another love song for the underfed There's thieves in the marketplace of desire, wearing their crooked little smiles Invisible tears falling for your eyes And someone on the street corning singing... Don't throw it all away It's just a game now, baby Moon and Mars are made of clay Another world, you know it's waiting out there somewhere Kiss the sky and walk away... With your open appetite Leave your souvenirs under the traffic light We can watch them float away, float away The politicians all have parachutes and all the poets carry guns Street corner singer gets run down before his song is done There's thieves in the marketplace of desire, wearing their crooked little smiles Nothing is free, all your pocket change is gone And there's a new guy on the street corning singing... Don't throw it all away It's just a game now, baby Moon and Mars are made of clay Another world, you know it's waiting out there somewhere Kiss the sky and walk away Don't throw it all away There's a moon and Mars now, baby Tomorrow we can watch them float away, float away
