Lyrics

I can’t tell the temperature
a better time to rise
I can’t tell the stars above
to sparkle up your eyes
I can’t tell the fires to stop
or make the siren start
I can’t even slow the beating
of my racing heart
but I say
Moon, there’s a better way
Moon, there’s a better way
Moon, there’s a better way
to light up the town
Moon, there’s a better way
Moon, there’s a better way
Moon, there’s a better way
to light up the town

I can’t paint the cloudy sky
a better shade of grey
I can’t make the bridge stand up
and dance across the bay
and I can’t tell the Animals
to sing a different song
when “please don’t let me be
misunderstood” plays all night long
Still, I say
Moon, there’s a better way
Moon, there’s a better way
Moon, there’s a better way
to light up the town… (x2)

Aww but who the hell am I to say
moon, there’s a better way
a better way than shining down?
Shining down
Just shinin
down
