Mmm...                 If you want to write a song about the moon   Walk along the craters of the afternoon  When the shadows are deep  And the light is alien   And gravity leaps like a knife off the pavement And you want to write a song about the moon     You want to write a spiritual tune Then nah nah nah nah nah nah nah Yeah  yeah  presto       Song about the moon Mmm... If you want to write a song about the heart   Think about the moon before you start  'cause the heart will howl Like a dog in the moonlight    And the heart can explode like a pistol on a June night So if you want to write a song about the heart  And its ever longing for a counterpart Then nah nah nah nah nah nah nah Yeah  yeah      Write a song about the moon                         The laughing boy      He laughed so hard He fell down from his place   The laughing girl     She laughed so hard The tears rolled  down her face whoa Hey Songwriter      If you want to write a song about a face       Think about a photograph That you really can't remember But you can't erase  Wash your hands in dreams and lightning    Cut off your hair and whatever is frightening If you want to write a song About a face  If you want to write a song about the human race Then nah nah nah nah nah nah nah Yeah  yeah      Write a song about the moon          Oh    if you want to write a song about the moon     You want to write a spirituaI tune nah nah nah nah nah nah nah Yeah  yeah yeah    yeah Then do it Write a song about the moon Mmm...                    Mmm...
