Lyrics
Shoot Down The Moon
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Oh no I don't want it
You can take it all
I'll put my money where my mouth is
Put your suitcase in the hall
Oh you robbed me blind
Of what little hope remained
You put a gun to my head
A bullet through my brain
You can't shoot down the moon
Some things never change
We can build a bridge between us
But the empty space remains
Just as long as you're around
We live on borrowed time
I'll put my money where my mouth is
You're guilty at the scene of the crime
I never say more than I need
The mystery runs deep
The dangers buried below
The secrets that you keep
You can't shoot down the moon
Some things never change
We can build a bridge between us
But the empty space remains
