Friday Zen

i don't know why
you want to follow me tonight
when the rest of the world
with whom i've crossed and i've quarreled
let's me down so
for a thousand reasons that i know
to share forever the unrest
with all the demons i possess
beneath the silver moon

maybe you were right
but baby i was lonely
i don't want to fight
i'm tired of being sorry

chandler and van nuys
with all the vampires and their brides
we're all bloodless and blind
and longing for a life
beyond the silver moon

maybe you were right
but baby i was lonely
i don't want to fight
i'm tired of being sorry
i'm standing in the street
crying out for you
no one sees me
but the silver moon

so far away - so outer space
i've trashed myself - i've lost my way
i've got to get to you
