Track 2 of Patrick Porter's ‘Goodbye Pork Pie Heart’ LP (2008)
lyrics
THAT'S WHERE THE MOON IS
(Lyrics by Patrick Porter, C. 2008)
That's where the moon is
That's where the sun brights
That's where the stars soft
That's where the moon is
I took the wrong bus
I ended up in city park
I was in a backyard
I was starking up stark
It was after a wedding I missed
That's where the moon is
That's where the moon is, baby
That's where the whites walk
That's where the cars stop
That's where the clouds soft
That's where the moon is
Life is the criss
And death is the cross
X marks the gravestone
And it ain't no big loss
You ain't nothin' but a lobster in a pot
They turn on the cooker and the bubbles pop
They throw your bones in a Corn Flakes box
And that's where the moon is, baby
