EVIL MOON
written by john common

I played my six string in your porcelain tub
you tried to take it from me when I woke you up
those bastards at the satire, they don't take my checks
you gave me your doorkey, what the hell did you expect?

come on lucy roll out of bed
go and fix me something for my aching head
I'll tell you 'bout the reason why I never can sleep
I'm being followed by somebody and he won't let me be…

it's that evil moon
way up in the sky
climbing through the window
with his one good eye
evil moon
one two three
let's drink him under the table
come on drink with me

some whiskey for my coffee some honey for your tea
a piece of apple pie for you a cigarette for me
if you see me nodding off baby touch my cheek
and sing another story make it slow and sweet

it's that evil moon
way up in the sky
climbing through the window
with his one good eye
evil moon
one two three
let's drink him under the table
come on drink with me

morning's awful pretty when you drink all night
we killed another evening we fought another fight
your head is on the table and the bottle's at my feet
I'm walking into blue sky when I step out on the street
on the street
a whiskey neat, a whiskey neat

Confession: I like broken shit. I’m just drawn to it. Always have been. I like it even more if it used to be shiny, beautiful, innocent or full of promise. See, the way down is so interesting to me. The way it actually happens, why it happens, the little details that break off as it’s happening. ... more
