I am the Moon

from Sneezehorses by Year 5000

lyrics

I am the last of the stars in the morning
Moving across the sky the wand
The ancients, they notice, their eye was always on the sun

She came on fast, making morning out of night
Before I could open my eyes I saw it was gripping again
Away away
They grasp for the midday and she screamed and sauntered
growing shut the noon light in my time
And I yelled out, "What about me?"
They took into the evening where she was afternoon.

And the creatures were arising
The elderly gave way
and she opened her eyes
"It's close. It's closed"
The grey face arise arise
The cuttlefish sleep in the stars in the sky
Humans, Humans, Humans

The fish all sees all
Sees all from above
I am the moon, the moon

The squid follicle whispers
Spine tentacle spoke at a distance
Light flickering the eyes of the huntress
She knows oh she knows
waist deep in the waves
The dark waters, the dark waters
whispers around
her eyes are closed
her eyes are flame
as she looks above
The silver
The silver discs screaming down at a million miles
You couldn't imagine the cold
You couldn't imagine the depths
And human hands grip in the morning
And human hands grip in the morning
the humans
the humans
Crab claw's distance in the lobster night

And they parade so up to the shore
And the sand's cross between the surface

And she came to me and she said,
"I know a secret.
I know a secret secret.
Something impossible
Something immortal
Something the humans the humans know."

The humans know.

And grasping Prometheus by the legs I swung him around
And he swam into the distance
Flames bursting from every corner
And I say, "I am The Moon! I am The Moon! I am The Moon!"
