Man In The Moon

[Same Mistake - James Blunt]

Dark spots on the surface of the moon...
A drunkard spelt out the maria as an early doom...
The rest just call it a face,
of some lad from Earth erased....
He didn't gel well with the crowd...
Moved east when al went south...

And now he's stranded up there...
Angered many and they don't care...
Only God knows since when,
For God put him in his den...
Happy or sad I cannot sense,
But he'll sure be alone...
Though better off without these drones....

And Mama tells her kids at night...
Don't be like that man,
better have some fright...
So they bark at the moon tonight...
Doin' what everyone feels alright...
"Don't be trapped by dogma", Jobs said...
But they ignore, for he is dead....

What will happen of the ones to come?
Worries the man up
as he looks down...
How can there ever be a new wave?
If no new roads were ever paved...

Don't you think he's doin' time cuz
He was wrong....
He's doin time cuz
They were strong...

Doesn't mean they still are...
Many people born with eccentric scars...
The bubble is soon to be burst...
The finest wine to satiate the thirst....

With their torches and weaponry...
when they come runnin' for you....
Call you tmrw's "Man In The Moon"...
Spit on their wrinkled faces...
You're not alone...
Be brave and say,
The Earth is your home...
Not goin' anywhere,
This is your moon.

They may think of doin' somethin'...
But not when you are too many beings....

Hope the day comes drivin' soon,
When there'll be,
More than a million less barks at the moon....
