Intro

O full-orb'd moon, did but thy rays

Their last upon mine anguish gaze!

Beside this desk, at dead of night,

Oft have I watched to hail thy light:

Then, pensive friend! o'er book and scroll,

With soothing power, thy radiance stole!

In thy dear light, ah, might I climb,

Freely, some mountain height sublime,

Round mountain caves with spirits ride,

In thy mild haze o'er meadows glide,

And, purged from knowledge-fumes, renew

My spirit, in thy healing dew!

Destro & Sinestro

I met her at that party
Pretense & Chateaudun
Lots of tipping cups
And glances around the room

She folded herself
Up against the wall
I took more morphine
And paraded down the hall

She fancied the pants off
I fancied the pants off
She's a good lover
She's a little blue

We drank wine by the litre
And grinned through red teeth
We looked down on Paris stars
Red lips met through grief

I prayed she'd know love, joy
She waited for me alone & sad
Cold and dark in wet winter Brixton
She was the best girl I ever had

She fancied the pants off
I fancied the pants off
She's an amazing lover
She's a little blue

She waited all the way
From Brixton to Philadelphia
I took dope to kill our pain
Pain too painful to share

I prayed childrens' prayers
And I prayed for death
My prayers were never answered
I was dying and she left


She fancied the pants off
I fancied the pants off
She's a lovely lover
She's a little blue
