"The Banjo Song" lyrics

"The Banjo Song"

On the dark side of the earth
Where the creatures are out
I'm a man on the moon
Midnight round my neck
And sunrise on my breath
I still wait for you

Will you lay down all the things you've done?
Don't turn your face around
You can come undone

Well, hey
Did you call, did you fall, do you need someone?
Do you need someone?
And hey
I'm a mess myself, but I think I could be someone
If you need someone
When I was alone, it was fine
I could deny all I like
I could just push back and make believe and it was alright
But, hey
Did you call, did you fall, do you need someone?
I could be someone
For you

Now there's gold in your eyes
In this rosy-fingered light
Like a man on the moon
Out of sight, out of mind
Never raise the alarm
Yeah, I'm just like you

Can you lay down all the things you've done?
Don't turn your face around
You can come undone

And hey
Did you call, did you fall, do you need someone?
Do you need someone?
And hey
I'm a mess myself, but I think I could be someone
If you need someone
I was alone, it was fine
I could deny all I like
I could just push back and make believe and it was alright
But, hey
When you call, when you fall, and you need someone
I could be someone
For you

Tell a lie
See a light
Burn a bridge
It'll be alright
Things don't have to fall apart

And hey
Did you call, did you fall, do you need someone?
Do you need someone?
And hey
I'm a mess myself, but I think I could be someone
If you need someone
And I was alone, it was fine
I could deny all I like
I could just push back and make believe and it was alright
And hey
When you call, when you fall, when you need someone
I could be someone
For you
