the shadow in the moonlight


The shadow in the moonlight
Alone he stays to watch
Thinking he can have it all
He still thinks the rural folks
He can count on them to deliver
When the crunch comes to his life
Will he stay on or he take flight?

The many shamans sit around
Chanting the magic potion in the air
The smoke floating in the moonlit night
The shadow in the moonlight
Alone he stays to watch
Will he stay on or he take flight?

The numbers he can't count
He can't see it of where he hides
Alone in the moonlit night
He watches of the rising tide
The yellow waves on the streets

The shadow in the moonlight
Alone he stays to watch
The stirring of awareness
Of what he did and he couldn't hide
He could bribe his way to stay
But the yellow waves will tell him to go
The sooner the better for the night
