Just call me Moses, out in the sun,
Making my way across the desert
Up ahead, the promise of green
Where fruit is sweet and the water is clean
I took a taste and now I'll never forget it
Now I've got a fever and it's driving me on
My heavy foot burns the tank out
There are places I'm meant to be but my oasis is calling to me
From the brown brick flat down by the big house
And I've been thinking maybe
This girl might have got me crazy.
Dodging and weaving and sliding and speeding
Down the M8 to the City and her
Oh my lover, my friend, ain’t it strange
I never knew I wanted you, but things have changed
And now the moon is in Aries. Or something like that.
I gotta say it's not my usual way of thinking.
But she can see things that I don't see, she's got me being the best I can be,
Sleeping well and hardly drinking.
Still I've been thinking maybe
This girl might have got me crazy
Dodging and weaving and sliding and speeding
Down the M8 to the City and her
Oh my lover, my friend, ain’t it strange
I never knew I wanted you, but things have changed
Now days are endless, nights are longer
Nothing dulls my thirst it's getting stronger
If she forgets me I'll fade away
So leave your porch light on, lover,
I'm on my way
Dodging and weaving and sliding and speeding
Down the M8 to the City and her
Oh my lover, my friend, ain’t it strange
I never knew I wanted you, but things have changed
