On the day I was born the moon changed its face
The bright white light became a brand-new shade
The doctor said that there was something wrong
But before he finished, I was six feet tall
And when I found the strength to stand
I walked right over, and I shook my mother's hand
I said thank you, but you know I got to go
I'm late I'm late I'm late for a date that I can't ignore
Fluorescent tubes that guide my way
They show the path that I should take
I learned the end is just the start
I found myself out in the dark
A stale breeze crept down the street
All the lights on the sidewalks were far between
I saw you there and that's when I knew
The Blood Red Moon, The Blood Red Moon,
The Blood Red Moon had come too soon
