Drunk On The Moon

Lyrics

Tight-slacked clad girls on the graveyard shift
 'Neath the cement stroll catch the midnight drift
 Cigar chewing charlie in that newspaper nest
 Grifting hot horse tips on who's running the best
 And I'm blinded by the neon
 Don't try and change my tune
 'Cause I thought I heard a saxophone
 I'm drunk on the moon
 ♪
 The moon's a silver slipper it's pouring champagne stars
 Broadway's like a serpent pulling shiny top-down cars
 Laramer is teeming with that undulating beat
 And some Bonneville is screaming it's way wilder down the street
 And I'm blinded by the neon
 Don't try and change my tune
 I thought I heard a saxophone
 I'm drunk on the moon
 ♪
 Hearts flutter and race the moon's on the wane
 Tarts mutter their dream hopes the night will ordain
 Come schemers and dancers cherry delight
 As a Cleveland-bound Greyhound and it cuts throught the night
 And I've hawked all my yesterdays
 Don't try and change my tune
 I thought I heard a saxophone
 I'm drunk on the moon
