Grapefruit moon, one star shining, shining down on me
Heard that tune, now I'm pining, honey, can't you see?
'Cause every time I hear that melody, well, something breaks inside
A grapefruit moon, one star shining, can't turn back the tide
Never had no destinations, could not get across
You became my inspiration, oh but what a cost
And every time I hear that melody, well, something breaks inside
A grapefruit moon, one star shining, is more than I can hide
Now I'm smokin' cigarettes and I strive for purity
And I slip just like the stars into obscurity
But every time I hear that melody, puts me up a tree
A grapefruit moon, one star shining, is all that I can see
Heard that tune, now I'm pining, honey, can't you see?
'Cause every time I hear that melody, well, something breaks inside
A grapefruit moon, one star shining, can't turn back the tide
Never had no destinations, could not get across
You became my inspiration, oh but what a cost
And every time I hear that melody, well, something breaks inside
A grapefruit moon, one star shining, is more than I can hide
Now I'm smokin' cigarettes and I strive for purity
And I slip just like the stars into obscurity
But every time I hear that melody, puts me up a tree
A grapefruit moon, one star shining, is all that I can see
This song is from the album "The Early Years: Volume 2", "The Asylum Years", "Original Album Series" and "Closing Time".
