Oh the night is dying fast
I'm looking in the mirror and all I see is broken glass
To think I knew this all along
Can't face the music, all shook up, wondering what went wrong

I'd rather be the moon
That shines upon the alley cat
Although it's all too soon
To rise and fall, no strings attached
How'd you like that?

Oh the air is mighty pure
Can't help this feeling of leisure running through my bones
Ten drinks of whisky flew me home
And for a minute I lost it, then it crushed me down

I'd rather be the moon
That shines upon the alley cat
Although it's all too soon
To rise and fall, no strings attached
How'd you like that?

If the world needed one more song
I'd be the one who buries himself deep in its sound To think I knew this all along
Can't face the music, all shook up, now that she has flown

I'd rather be the moon
That shines upon the alley cat
Although it's all too soon
To rise and fall, no strings attached
How'd you like that?
