Get the road and I'll run away
In the tailwind of blue and grey
I read your sign like a caveat
I'll take a look, baby, what you got
Then I cut a line like a pistol shot
Cause it may be gone today
I'm gonna burn out bright
To see if I can shoot that moon
Enigmatic like a five and dime
Cut me open, you can see it shine
But I'll parade it like the Stanley Cup
The bad papa from the bottom
Knock on wood for a little luck
An d that'll see me through
I'm gonna burn out bright
to see if I can shoot that moon
Or starin' at a ten car wreck
You never know what you're gonna get
When the tragic chase the mule
It's just my simple vapid little rhaps ody
Top heavy with some melody
Smoothed over in a velvet key
To scintillate and soothe
Cause I may be gone today,
I'm gonna burn out bright
to see if I can shoot that moon
