Poison moon

Cut loose in a nightmare, cast off in my dreams
If home is anywhere that I can hang my hat
Then it´s coming apart at the seams
My luck is hanging upside down
I try to hold on tight
But money´s rolling out of town
And love slips right out of sight
And these bones, they don´t look so good to me
Jokers talk and they all disagree
One day soon, I will laugh right in the face of the poison moon
You look in the mirror
I´m sorry, but it can´t be replaced
You´re thrown straight out in that cruel parade
Buttoned down and laced
It starts like fascination, it ends up like a trance
You´ve gotta use your imagination on some of that magazine romance
And these bones - they don´t look so good to me
Jokers talk and they all disagree
One day soon, I will laugh right in the face of the poison moon
One day soon, I will laugh right in the face of the poison moon
If home is anywhere that I can hang my hat
Then it´s coming apart at the seams
My luck is hanging upside down
I try to hold on tight
But money´s rolling out of town
And love slips right out of sight
And these bones, they don´t look so good to me
Jokers talk and they all disagree
One day soon, I will laugh right in the face of the poison moon
You look in the mirror
I´m sorry, but it can´t be replaced
You´re thrown straight out in that cruel parade
Buttoned down and laced
It starts like fascination, it ends up like a trance
You´ve gotta use your imagination on some of that magazine romance
And these bones - they don´t look so good to me
Jokers talk and they all disagree
One day soon, I will laugh right in the face of the poison moon
One day soon, I will laugh right in the face of the poison moon
