Shawn Phillips - Moonshine lyrics

rate me

Yellow flowers bought today

I bought 'em from the man who lives in the other way

Wilting flowers couldn't stay

Not enough water gotta fill 'em to the brink today

Another moonshine, oh, moonshine

Moonlight halo gonna tell about a coming rain

Another moonshine, oh, moonshine

Moonlight halo gonna tell about a coming

I don't believe it can be verified

I don't believe it can be put right

It's too confused in all of its facets

It's too complex in all of its ways

They just continuing to tell me their trouble

They just continuing to tell me their lies

They don't believe in helping their brother

They're standing still and hearing his cries

If you believe that you got the power

If you believe it deep in your heart

You're on the run in front of a gunner

You're on the run and no one said start

I said moonshine, "Oh, moonshine

Moonlight halo gonna tell about a coming rain"

Another moonshine, oh, moonshine

Moonlight halo gonna tell about a coming

Red moon rising, dogs are howling

Throwing stones at Willy on the other side

Octogenarians intermarrying

What you gonna do when the light goes out?

Madly scrambling in the brambling

Up the mountain like a frightened trout

Killing relieves the hunting imperative

Maiming relieves the sadist's delight

They don't believe in what they are doing

I do believe that they are uptight

Safe and secure in maudlin commodities

Smug and pedantic into their lives

Stupidity can never make answers

Pathos is there in all of its might

I said moonshine, "Oh, moonshine

Moonlight halo gonna tell about a coming rain"

Another moonshine, oh, moonshine

Moonlight halo gonna tell about a coming rain

Talk about after, there's gonna be laughter

Talk about after, yeah, there's gonna be laughter

Talk about after, heh, there's gonna be laughter someday

Talk about after, there's gonna be laughter someday

Another sunshine, oh, sunshine

Sunshine comin' gonna be another brand new day, yeah

Sunshine comin' gonna be another brand new day, ah

Sunshine comin' gonna be another brand new day

Sunshine comin' gonna be another brand new
