Baby, you’re a waning moon:
Rise the tides, make monsoon.
You take me back to the place you’re at
told me “don’t lose your cool”.
I went to the corner drugstore
to find my favorite folklore.
To haunt the ghost I love the most.
He said “I’ve died for much more”.
Red light turned green, I’m gonna walk.
Found a place where I’m above the law.
Found a place where I can be like you.
Gonna constellate a star, ’cause baby you’re a waning moon.
You’re the one who fought for tough love,
flew the coop, told them all off
all for the need of the hand that feeds.
I know where you get your time from.
Oh, they all got a different story,
an arsenal on inventory,
a place for right - just a kiss goodnight,
a place to get their glory.
Red light turned green, I’m gonna walk.
Found a place where I’m above the law.
Found a place where I can be like you.
Gonna constellate a star, ’cause baby you’re a waning moon.
You went out with your fancy lightning.
You played God, said you were king.
And when I’m young I’ll help you up,
but for now I’ll do nothing.
Red light turned green, I’m gonna walk.
Found a place where I’m above the law.
Found a place where I can be like you.
Gonna make myself scarce, ’cause baby you’re a waning moon.
