"Man On The Moon" lyrics

"Man On The Moon"

I put my life up on the Internet
I couldn't tell you why
I thought about it every night and day
Until the words in the well ran dry

I put a bullet in the man on the moon
It was a favour for a fella I knew
But some shots just ain't worth takin'
Sellin' my soul on the TV station
I wrote a letter to the kid on the sun
I told him everything I thought that I'd done
But those tides just kept on risin'
I'm losing myself in the compromisin'

I told the lads that I was sick of it
I couldn't quite say why
I had a run-in with the son of the flames
He was a winner but I wondered why

I put a bullet in the man on the moon
It was a favour for a fella I knew
But some shots just ain't worth takin'
Sellin' my soul on the TV station
I wrote a letter to the kid on the sun
I told him everything I thought that I'd done
But those tides just kept on risin'
I'm losing myself in the compromisin'

But I fall to you
To the sound of rain
To those hopeless eyes
Yeah, I fall to you, to you, to you, to you

Oh, I put a bullet in the man on the moon
It was a favour for a fella I knew
But some shots just ain't worth takin'
Sellin' my soul on the TV station
I wrote a letter to the kid on the sun
I told him everything I thought that I'd done
But those tides just kept on risin'
I'm losing myself in the compromisin'
