Molly's Moon Lyrics

In another place just like the other place on an afternoon in June

A Texas boy in Southern Illinois still singing a New York tune

It's a desperate face and a desperate place that came and went too soon

I don't believe I'm here with another beer

As the sun goes down in another town

Watching the earth revolve again

From a crater at Molly's Moon

It's another place just like the other place

But a long long way from home

There's a silent stare in the barroom air

Sitting nest to my pieces of tome

The windowpane never could explain

How the children escaped from the womb

I order one more drink and then I start to thing

As the sun goes down in another town

Watching the earth from miles away

From a crater at Molly's moon

In another place just like the other place

I've been staring at the sun

Watching stranger men come and go again

Until solitude comes undone

When I try to laugh at the golden calf

I'm absolved and allowed to croon

That this nursery rhyme is out of time

Burning just enough of the evil stuff

To be watching the earth from a pedestal

In a crater at Molly's moon
