Countermoon

On a night like this

You look up at your lover

It's like you're in some old cartoon

Then you detect

The scent of faded roses

Up in the sky

It's that cruel countermoon

Could that be murder you see in her eyes?

You try a long and desperate kiss

You can't escape it

That beam is sure to find you

On a night like this

The story is told

How the women get restless

And the men grow cold

Gotham shudders

There's a chill in the air

There's a countermoon

Lovers all beware

Hand in hand

You walk along the river

You stop to clutch and caress

A countermoonbeam

Comes sweeping off the water

She goes "You're not my Jackie

My Jackie was the best."

He was the best

Spitewaves are threatening the seaside hotels

It's nasty weather for July

Last night you loved her

Tonight you wonder why

Why

On a night like this

The story is told

How the women get restless

And the men grow cold

Gotham shudders

There's a chill in the air

There's a countermoon

Lovers all beware

At every pay phone

There's somebody cryin'

All the streets are slick with tears

When you see that blue ray

There's a heartquake on the way

On a night like this

The story is told

How the women get restless

Men grow cold

Gotham shudders

There's a chill in the air

There's a countermoon

Lovers all beware

On a night like this

The story is told

How the women get restless

And the men grow cold

Gotham shudders

A chill in the air

There's a countermoon

Lovers all beware

All beware

All beware

All beware

All beware
