Moondog - rx Soul

Moondog won’t stop crying at me

And it’s shameful, but I should know by now

I can’t tame her

I should know by now I can’t chase her

When she runs off

Found moondoggy high on a beach off some downers

That she stole from some Hollywood palace

The rest of 'em stowed in our mattress

Just a backpack

Your eyes don’t look back like the moon

You forgot you were ever a child

Your eyes don’t look back like the moon anymore

Like you’ve already died

Oh, I’d give mine to bring moondog back to —

And if you wanna live like a dog, lying dormant

On the floor of the house you were born in

Curled up in the corner with no one

I can’t stop you

But if you wanna die like a dog, with no warning

On the floor of a house we don’t own yet

Splayed out in the corner by morning

Supine with eyes that you’ll forfeit

Cracked, the two mirrors distorted

Your body repose, broken porcelain

I won’t let you

Your eyes don’t look back like the moon

You forgot you were ever a child

Your eyes don’t look back like the moon anymore

Like you’ve already died

Oh, I’d give mine to bring moondog back to life
