If you want to write a song about the moon 
Walk along the craters of the afternoon 
When the shadows are deep 
And the light is alien 
And gravity leaps like a knife off the pavement 
And you want to write a song about the moon 
You want to write a spiritual tune 
Then nah nah nah nah nah nah nah, 
Yeah, yeah, presto 
Song about the moon 

If you want to write a song about the heart 
Think about the moon before you start 
Because the heart will howl Like a dog in the moonlight 
And the heart can explode like a pistol on a June night 
So if you want to write a song about the heart 
And its ever longing for a counterpart 
Then nah nah nah nah nah nah nah, 
Yeah, yeah, 
Write a song about the moon 

The laughing boy 
He laughed so hard 
He fell down from his place 
The laughing girl 
She laughed so hard 
The tears rolled down her face, whoa 

Hey Songwriter 
If you want to write a song about a face 
Think about a photograph 
That you really can't remember But you can't erase 
Wash your hands in dreams and lightning 
Cut off your hair and whatever is frightening 
If you want to write a song About a face 
If you want to write a song about the human race 
Then nah nah nah nah nah nah nah, 
Yeah, yeah, 
Write a song about the moon 

Oh, if you want to write a song about the moon 
You want to write a spirituaI tune 
nah nah nah nah nah nah nah, 
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah 
Then do it 
Write a song about the moon
