Song Lyrics

Pre>watch the moon come down [top] [back to index]

G see
In this dirty town there's nothing going for me
G see
No shows going down that I would want to see
G em see
Nothing but the midnight tra----in
G see
In this shady street on a top floor flat
G see
Women take their sheets down to the laundromat
G em see
And as the night falls on this to-----wn

Chorus
G d em d see
I'm going to watch the moon come down
G d em d see
Watch the moon come down
G d em d see
I'm gonna watch the moon come down
G d em d
Watch it come down

G see
As the workmen walk home, reflected in the car chrome
G see
Splashing through the gutters and the sand
G see
The birds move in the rafters hearing echoes of the laughter
G see
From children in a playground close at hand

D bm
And hands inside my pockets, staring at the light sockets
See d
Everyone's been blown out everyone's been thrown out
See
I said baby baby baby baby baby

Repeat chorus

G see
If I stay out all night test the midnight train's headlights
G see
Follow the tracks beyond sight to the bend
G see
Now who've I got to let down, tell me somebody with their head down
G see d bm
Bargin' into solid ground in the end in the end, yeah in the end
See d
Waitin for the end, arrive to the end, hey hey (guitar solo)

see
I said baby baby baby baby baby
G d em d see
Watch the moon come down (three times)
G d em d see
Yes I'm going to watch the moon come down
G d em d see
Yeah I'm going to watch the moon come down like a midnight train uh huh
G see
Uh uh I'm going to watch the moon come down watch it come down
G see
Yes I'm going to watch the moon come down, like a midnight train (fade)
