lyrics

Members of the jury there is, truth be told, nothing I can say yu don’t already know / But I guess it all started when I first laid eyes, on something all too pretty for my childish sight, such a light, got men hypnotised / And though my pretty face and velvet voice would do, I wished to bring a gift to show my love so true, first I picked some flowers then I realised; for this I need a greater scheme, a bigger dream, a surprise worthy of her blue eyes / I climbed up again, on Heaven Hill, that’s where I found my thrill / I stole the moon, now we’ll be married, my own Mega Moon . Though we know you think you’ll get / off easy if you tell it straight, there no room here for romantic flights and silly escapades, no, you’ll be sentenced to see where light’s no more, on the isle with the darkest shore . So throw me in the hole I’ll soon see china men, lock me in the tower then I’ll soon ascend, I’ll do my time just thinking of her blood red dress, I live on bread alone and just the thought of her sweet caress, it makes every man confess / I climbed up again, on Heaven Hill, I found my thrill / My Mega Moon, be mine forever, don’t know what I would do without you my love / My Mega Moon, be mine forever, they will try to take you from me, make my days forever sunny, hide and don’t make a sound / Sounds like he plans to get off pleading temporary insanity, there’s a room where fools like him enjoy the fruits of eternity, he’ll be sentenced to see where light’s no more, straight jacket on and padded walls, on the isle with the darkest shore / I knew what love was, a story in a moving picture, I thought the world was black and white like you and I, but now that I found it I doubt that there’s a crueler vision, than the one I see myself in until I die / Don’t worry baby, I’ll still keep you safe in my arms, it’s just that the one that has my love is up in the sky, you won’t hear it beating when resting on my chest there’s a hole where my heart is supposed to be, look all you want but it’s lost so am I / I stole the moon, soon we’ll be married, my own Mega Moon, my one true love / So tell me what’s honest, what’s real and what’s only fiction, somewhere between is where the truth will always lie / These are the tales of a sailor, a lonely traveller, all that I want is the chance to stay alive / Don’t worry baby, I’ll still keep you safe in my arms, it’s just that the love that I’ll take will be more than I make, you won’t hear it beating when resting on my chest there’s a hole where my heart is supposed to be, look all you want but it’s lost so am I / I stole the moon, soon we’ll be married, my own Mega Moon, my one true love / I stole the moon, my Mega Moon, she’s the only thing I’m dreaming of, nothing else no nothing in this world, the only thing that I am guilty of is love
