When the moon leads us astray

One face and its story
of the pitfalls and the glory
is the face of oh so many
in their ease and in their frenzy
we're all just passing by
hardly ever knowing why

   the sun has steady patterns
   and the moon leads us astray
   but it hardly matters
   'cause it's a sweet and lovely day
   when the moon leads us astray

people are like questions
always asking for redemption
release from hours and from days
they pictured different anyway
we're all just passing by
hardly ever knowing why

      refr.

and cats will chase their tails
the priestess peers beyond the veil
of all sorrow and of gladness
with some luck she won't meet madness
we're all just passing by
hardly ever knowing why

     refr.

                  everyone needs everything
                  that's just why the singer sings
                  yes everyone needs everything


1988.
