Melancholy Moon (Everything Dies)

by Have Gun, Will Travel

/

lyrics

Time to turn it over, time to put it in gear
Feels like I'm losing momentum
There's a dozen tiny anchors that are keeping me here
If not, I'd probably invent them
Got a wrinkled up twenty and a couple of ones
Burning a hole in my pocket
The answer's waiting on the other side of this door
But I haven't got the key to unlock it

There's a melancholy moon on the rise
And our ship is running out of supplies
We should head to shore and say our goodbyes
'Cause everything dies

Now the moon is casting shadows in the valley tonight
Down in the Garden of Eden
It's hard to tell the difference between wrong and right
If you think there's nothing left to believe in
The preacher's on the radio, he's coming undone
Talking about eternal damnation
And the Devil's selling dictionaries door to door
He looks like he could use a vacation

There's a melancholy moon on the rise
And the mini bar is low on supplies
We should wrap it up and say our goodbyes
'Cause everything dies

Gone away, gone away are the salad days
Let it play, let it play, let the record play

Now the moon is casting shadows in the valley tonight
Down in the Garden of Eden
It's hard to tell the difference between wrong and right
If you think there's nothing left to believe in

There's a melancholy moon on the rise
And the bar is running out of supplies
We should pay our tab and say our goodbyes
'Cause everything dies
