The Moon In the Man

You scorched one field to sow
Another meadow
Shot the dollar god with your bow
And left for the meadow
To look for the moon
To look for the moon
To look for the moon in the man

You left the town with its dazzlin' lights
You left the car keys and the credit cards
Stopped the clock, tore a hole in the night
And took a last look at the rut
That was your life
When you left to
Look for the moon in the man

The town had turned to so much salt
In the distance when you looked back
You kept on going
You had no alternative
You were all in disarray
A runaway train off the track
Then you had a vision of your destiny

No more grafting
In some fat cat's pay
Sunlight shafting
Brand new day

So, now you've placed your faith
In intuition
You've left the poor drowned rat race
Your greatest ambition
To look for the moon
To look for the moon
To look for the moon in the man

The moon in the man
The moon in the man
The moon in the man
The moon in the man
The moon in the man
The moon in the man
The moon in the man
