In The Direction Of 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.

I am a wall of sand and stone

and you, you're some kind of ivy I'm trying to hold as best as I can.

As best as I can.

But I'm a disaster,

I could not be burning faster

I stick my arms into webs,

I take my meals with weirdos,

And play with my rocket ships.

And all the while you, you

are so composed.

So composed

So composed

You are the most gracious thing I know.

Touched by crooking flowers

Touched by snow

And I put my rockets away.

I think you're fantastic.

I'll put my rockets away.

I know that you care.

I'll put my rockets away.

And you

I'll put my rockets away.

are a house of skin and hair.

I've been running off of fumes again.

I've been running off my mouth.

I've been running in the hours

between midnight and dawn

In the direction of the moon.

With the impression that's the way,

the way to find your house.

So, hey, I will build your bastion

And hey, how long can you put up with these questions

When you got nowhere to go except

into the terrible air?

And I put my rocket away.

I think you're fantastic

I'll put my rocket away.

I know that you care

I'll put my rockets away.

And you

I'll put my rockets away.

are a house of skin and hair)

Erring on the side of culture apparently past

Come down from the good rack crystal glass

'Cause I, I'm a wall of sand and stone.

And you, your some kind of ivy I'm trying to hold

as best as I can.
