She's lost in Times Square, and everywhere the air is bright.
The moon rose tonight, rose despite the lights the sound.
Don't hold me down.
The moon's come unwound. String is found hanging from the trees.
Say what you please: That we're green, that we're mean, then we're bound.

Chorus: Don't hold me down, now that the light's on me.
Turn down the lights, I can't see.

We're lost in Times Square, not prepared to sacrifice.
Don't ask me twice. It isn't nice, but we've lost the round.
Chorus
Watching you rise over Times Square. Quiet the Earth. Quiet the air.
cnd as the churning tides of your soul settle the boy, settle the girl.
cnd as the wrecking ships sail away, stay for the night, stay for the day.
cnd as you rise up over Times Square, child of the moon, smile from up there.
