Watch The Moon Come Down

In this dirty town

There's nothing going for me

No shows going down

That I would want to see

Nothing but the midnight train

In this shady street

On a top floor flat

Women take their sheets

Down to the laundromat

And as the night falls on this town

I'm going to watch the moon come down

Watch the moon come down

I'm going to watch the moon come down

Watch it come down

As the workmen walk home

Reflected in the car chrome

Splashing through the gutters and the sand

The birds move in the rafters

Hearing echoes of the laughter

From children in a playground close at hand

And hands inside my pockets

Staring at the light sockets

Ah, everyone's been blown out

Ah, everyone's been thrown out

I said, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby

Watch the moon come down

I'm going to watch the moon come down

I'm going to watch the moon come down

Watch it come down

If I stay out all night

Test the midnight train's headlights

I follow the tracks beyond sight to the bend

Now who've I got to let down

Tell me somebody with their head down

Bargin' into solid ground in the end

In the end, yeah, in the end

Waitin' for the end, arrive to the end, hey, hey

I said, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby

Watch the moon come down

Watch the moon come down

Watch the moon come down

Yes, I'm going to watch the moon come down

Yeah, I'm going to watch the moon come down

Like a midnight train

Uh-huh, I'm going to watch the moon come down

I'm gonna watch it come down

Yes, I'm going to watch the moon come down

Like a midnight train

I'm gonna watch the moon come down
