Sad Moon

I think maybe I knew her in school In my memory's faded view I remember years ago Her name I barely knew Years later I saw her in town Knocking on my window talking loud She said, "Baby do you need a date Or just a little foolin' around?" Way down where the red light's low Slinkin' down where the bad seeds grow Crawlin' where the sun don't show 'Neath the sad moon Walking the streets, all on display Standing there and laying in wait She looks at me and I look away 'Neath the sad moon I said, "Thanks, no I don't need that But as she turned her naked back She turned to go And I just had to stare at her walking away Looking out there it might be me But for the grace of God oh I can see A grain of sand, a strand of hair A chromosome or someone's dare Way down where the red light's low Slinkin' down where the bad seeds grow Crawlin' where the sun don't show 'Neath the sad moon Walking the streets, all on display Standing there and laying in wait She looks at me and I look away 'Neath the sad moon Couldn't help but follow her Felt so bad but couldn't stop Curiosity's got me Worth a damn I know I'm not I put her down but want her too Ashamed to say I want her a lot Guess I'll go and move along Let it go, let it drop Way down where the red light's low Slinkin' down where the bad seeds grow Crawlin' where the sun don't show 'Neath the sad moon Walking the streets, all on display Standing there and laying in wait She looks at me and I look away 'Neath the sad moon
