It is a very Neko Weekend. She's playing First Ave on TUESDAY--well worth the school-night shenanigans.
OK, had to listen to this one twice (Warning Sapfactor 6 of 6)
Neko Case - I Wish I Was The Moon
From the album "Blacklisted"
Chimney falls and lovers blaze
Thought that I was young
Now I've freezing hands & bloodless veins
As numb as I've become
I'm so tired,
& I wish I was the moon tonight
Last night I dreamt I had forgotten my name
Cuz I had sold my soul but awoke just the same
I'm so lonely,
& I wish I was the moon tonight
God blessed me, I'm a free man
With no place free to go
I'm paralyzed and collared-tight
No pills for what I fear
This is crazy
I wish I was the moon tonight
Chimney falls and lovers blaze
Thought that I was young
Now I've freezing hands & bloodless veins
As numb as I've become
I'm so tired,
& I wish I was the moon tonight
How will you know if you found me at least
Cuz I'll be the one, be the one, be the one
With my heart in my lap
I'm so tired, I'm so tired
& I wish I was the moon tonight
Edited to say: Neko Case is a very good kisser and makes a mean vegetarian omlette.....or so I'm told
