MOONLIGHT MILE


WORDS & MUSIC: HANK “HOLY ROLLER” RAY
COPYRIGHT CONTROL, 2008


I curse the dirty sidewalks underneath cold neon signs
The ballet of the dead a-dancing right there before my eyes
Blood red Jupiter rain’s a-falling down
On boulevards of saints and sinners nowhere bound
I can see an endless street, a nameless street of ghosts
Of yesterdays and tomorrows, dewdrops dripping from a rose
And lizards smile
Out here on the moonlight mile

 

I still hear your voice in the whispering way up high
Clearly see your face in every ray of light
I roam this wide world over just a-drifting
A stranger in a place I once called home

 

Satellite reflections, dim lights shine ‘n’ concrete calls
Nothing’s real, not even the sweet whores leaning towards the walls
Darker sideways lead me God-knows-where
And I laugh at things and calls from way out there
Catching falling stars that’s what we try and try and try
Illusions come and slip into oblivion after a while
Ministers cry
Out here on the moonlight mile
Out here on the moonlight mile
