lyrics

1 - Here comes the moon
Same old moon that fools the fools
Comes waltzing in here
Like he owns the place
I've seen this guy, I know his moves
I'd know him anywhere
I know those stars on his wing-tip shoes.

2 - The sky is lightning
The air gardenias and I just came to dance
The rate I'm going, at four for a quarter
It pays to take a chance
The girls look pretty in the glow of the jukebox
As they dance by the light of the moon
You've gotta keep dancing or it catches up to
you.

Cho - Come outside and we'll drive through the night
With the rain in our hair
Once you go down to Kalia Road
You can smell the sea
We can go out there
Way out where the breakers roll
Singing 'Once you have found her
Never let her go.'

3 - The moon sits down
Starts telling the bartender there was a girl
Then his voice trails off
And he looks at me
So I say tell me something, are you the first prize
Or is it just my luck
You always find me no matter what.

Cho - (Repeat)
