Madame de la Luna

She's in my veins Gold in my veins She is my pain And my joy Time and again Waxing or waning I am insane For La Luna Madame de la Luna When she is sleepy She's creepy, mysterious and wicked When she is full She is full of promise and joy Beaming her smile All the while Across Heaven's horizons Weaving her dreams Into hearts of lonely boys But when I'm under the moon with you I'm in Heaven When I'm under the moon with you I'm in Heaven She'll bring out the killer Bring out the lover She loves a tyrant, a pirate, a dreamer, a crook and a liar A joker, a trickster, romancer, a dancer and fool Cold as the frost but in her heart is a fire Hanging around the dark throat of the night like a jewel But when I'm under the moon with you I'm in Heaven When I'm under the moon with you I'm in Heaven Moon, moon, delirious moon Alone in the blue Like a silver balloon Moon, moon, delirious moon Dancing a waltz To a lunatic's tune Madame de la Luna Bewitching is she I cannot live without her She's scattering stars Dancing with Mars Cheek to cheek With La Luna Cheek to cheek With La Luna Madame de la Luna She sings as she brings in the harvest She pulls out her tongue At the cruel Ethiopian sun When she's hiding The dark can bring a terrible vengeance A pounce in the shadows A moment alone with a gun Adrift on a sea of indigo silk Passionate like an Arabian torch Enticing two lovers to jump off a bridge Changing the man into the wolf Sometimes she's a terrible flirt Causing mischief and mayhem wherever she can Sometimes she's a woman that hurts Sometimes she is a man Encouraging drunks to sing coarse serenades Lighting the way for the young renegades But when I'm under the moon with you I'm in Heaven When I'm under the moon with you I'm in Heaven She says better times are gonna come soon Better times are gonna come soon Trust in the moon Trust in the moon La Luna
