Peel Back The Moon, Beware! - Elf Power

Coming all around us in the blue light of the morning

The whole entire world was in your eyes

Felt so powerless and simple, the rain was on the window

Sliding down and dripping all inside

So I walked down by the water, saw the pulsing mass was shining

Listened to the things out in the night

Threw my dollars on the fire, crawled out through the wire

Hoping we’d eventually collide

Hold my head to the skin I said, when my heart wasn’t always there

As you turn down the light in the long black night, peel back the moon, beware!

Through the darkness I kept moving, down the streets and through the alleys

Hiding in the doorways from the cold

And everything was pretty, stealing through the city

Always somewhere better left to go

So I climbed up on the mountain and the clouds were all around me

I stumbled on, I could not see the light

Always running from the slaughter, trembling through the water

Trying to find away back down inside

Hold my head to the skin I said, when my heart wasn’t always there

As you turn down the light in the long black night, peel back the moon, beware!

In the shadows I was walking, I was hidden from the morning

Everything just seemed to fade away

I was living in a movie, you never even knew me

The people looked right through the city
