Jimmy Buffett - Everlasting Moon lyrics

By: Jimmy Buffett, Matt Betton

Recorded live 1990 on the Feeding Frenzy tour

-- Spoken:

"This is a little song called Everlasting Moon about what some people did to preserve the environment."

The sky revealed the rumor

In a misty gray cocoon

Some angry baby-boomers

Stole the everlasting moon

They found a new location

Clear and poison free

In a distant constellation

Oh, they called it lunacy

Chorus:

Hangin' in the sky

The perfect alibi

Baby come outside with me

There's a moon you've got to see

Smiling every place

With his laser-painted face

Light of love in each moonbeam

Want you step into my dream

Everlasting moon (everlasting moon, everlasting moon)

Back when nature ruled the heavens

Oh gypsies, fools, and loons

Were dragged across the ocean

By that everlasting moon

When it goes from full to crescent

I move in and out of tune

It's the envy of the Kremlin

It's our everlasting moon

Chorus:

Shinin' in the sky

The perfect alibi

Baby come outside with me

There's this moon you've got to see

Smiling every place

With his laser-painted face

Light of love in each moonbeam

Want you step into my dream

Everlasting moon (everlasting moon)

Everlasting moon (everlasting moon)
