Look out of your window tonight and wonder who took that piece out of the moon…

Piece of the Moon

See a child on the corner of my empty street
can’t wait to play too soon
Near a man dressed from head to toe
talking ‘bout the weather from a hasmat suit
Turn on the tube for some other bad news
theres another one dead
before the clock strikes noon
Hold my breath for the new town normal
sweeping cross the mews

Who took a piece
Who took a piece out of the moon?
Who took a piece
Who took a piece out of the moon?
Who took a piece
Who took a piece out of the moon?
Who took a piece
Who took a piece out of the moon?

I feel the breeze on my face
leaning carefully out the window too
Pull on my jeans
seems a little obscene
when there is nothing left to do
I phone a friend
for some soul to mend
collect some ground hog feeling too
and dream away for another bright day
I can’t escape this prison in a hot balloon

Who took a piece
Who took a piece out of the moon?
Who took a piece
Who took a piece out of the moon?
Who took a piece
Who took a piece out of the moon?
Who took a piece
Who took a piece out of the moon?

They took a piece out of the moon…
