On the Moon
i'm standing on the moon
-starz are all around-
i also see the earth
purple, green, and brown
it shines on the horizon
mist comes from the trees
blue mountains in the distance
...man i love days like these...
hey-look at all the stars!
..see the Southern Cross?
it's just a simple pattern..
but it let's us know who's boss..
in space-it seems so perfect
a peaceful blue medallion
on earth-we got some issues..
man, u should do some travellin'
we're spending all our time
chasing what is dying
we're living in the past
and we're not even trying
we're choking on our poisons
pistol packing fools
and im trying to remember
what they taught me in those "schools"....
..vacations in Australia
Mt. Fuji in Japan-
sunshine is for breakfast
with women in foreign lands..
the clouds have silver linings
but it's dark before the dawn
each man was made for victory
come one-come all-come on..
we're spending all our time
chasing what is dying
we're living in the past
heaving, crying, sighing..
we're choking on our poisons
pistol packing fools
and i'm trying to forget
what they taught me in their schools....
blue earth spins on it's axis
planets sing in tune
and i'm checking out what is happening...
-while i'm standing on the moon-
