me and the moon and the tune in my head 

I track the radar, I study the stars 
I look for symbols on fenceposts and meaning in my scars 
I listen for whispers, some hazy shred of a dream 
I see all these crazy patterns, it’s too dark to make out what they mean 

in these times when i can’t see 
i find that i am gently led 
it’s just me 
and the moon 
and the tune in my head 
in my head 

I stumble in shadows, I cower in light 
I wallow through hollows, I tumble from heights 
This quest is one of danger, I’m afraid to go alone 
I’m looking for a stranger who can help to my home 

in these times when i can’t find 
the trail on which i am to tread 
it’s just me 
and the moon 
and the tune in my head 
in my head 

I slither through alleyways, I creep along tracks 
I don’t recognize this city, I don’t know my way back 
I hear screams like gasoline, buildings quiver and moan 
I need someone to help me but everybody here is so damn alone 

in these times when there is no one 
on whom i can depend 
it’s just me 
and the moon 
and the tune in my head 
in my head 

it’s just me 
and the moon 
and the tune in my head 
in my head
