to the moon and back

have you tried to bring your friends to the moon,
to the dark side of the city where everything is gloom?
have you tried to bring your lovers back to the saloon,
to the place where you’ve found them drinking rum?
to the place where you’ve found them drinking rum?

have you noticed the bright colours and the lights
shining down on us where the poor man fights?
have you noticed the fat rats taking their fat bites
all over the scraps They threw from their heights?
all over the scraps They threw from their heights?

have you ever wondered who’s that guy named Trevor
hanging around with his scythe and black leather?
have you ever been told how love is forever?
it’s about six weeks — or four if you’re clever!
it’s about six weeks — or four if you’re clever!
