Old Man Moon
Old Man Moon way above in the sky
smiling sweetly while he cruised on by
with Stars dancing free in the darkness
sparkling so brightly with such happiness
they twinkled slow around Old Man Moon
each singing a harmonious beautiful tune
as they radiate a million billion smiles
all right across the vast universe’s miles
below him was the mighty Earth planet
coughing, spluttering in her pollution net
Old Man Moon then cried a sorrowful tear
feeling earth may not live, he would fear
with the parasites breeding so fast on her
and destroying all her beauty they’d prefer
than let this gracious lady spin her life
so no more illness is causing her any strife
Old Man Moon has experienced the such
first time in ’69, he detested it so much
Earth’s blue cheeks all now so, so dirty
from the wastes of the parasites, you see
Old Man Moon, tears rolling down his face
seeing Earth this way is such a disgrace
for the ones who are supposed to protect
and live in harmony, not used as a project
daylight nears, the Stars begin to diminish
it’s time for Old Man Moon’s night to finish
as the sun rose, you can see Earth’s pain
Old Man Moon has seen it again and again
he gave Earth a kiss so delicate and light
“goodbye sweetheart i will see you tonight”
the Stars and Old Man Moon cry as one
when they see Earth dying under the sun
