Devil Moon

The Baboons - Uptown and Back Again

Once upon a time

a long-long time ago

Way back in the mountains

where the wind is blowin' cold

Lived a man in solitude

I can't recall his name

All night long I hear him singing in my dream

Oh

sweet Devil Moon

Picking up the pieces of a long-forgotten dream

Old Blue Moon shines on every piece

it seems

Eagles drop their crosses on a chain of lead and steel

Riding to my heart by silver moonlight

so it feels

Oh

sweet Devil Moon

Where you headin'

baby?

Where you headin'

baby?

Are you headin' for that moon?

No-no-no

no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no

no

Now

where he eases your mind

And you're gonna feel his breeze real soon

Now

when the Devil's in your head

Gonna dance to the Devil Moon

Your soul is slowly burnin'

And your heart turned into stone

The mountain man will whisper

To that sweet old Devil Moon

Where has my baby gone?

Will I see her soon?

Will you take her from me

In a shining devil glow?

Oh

sweet Devil Moon

Picking up the pieces of a long-forgotten dream

Old Blue Moon shines on every piece

it seems

Eagles drop their crosses on a chain of lead and steel

Riding to my heart by silver moonlight

so it feels

Oh

sweet Devil Moon

Where you headin'

baby?

Where you headin'

baby?

Are you headin' for that moon?

No-no-no

no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no

no

Now

where he eases your mind

And you're gonna feel his breeze real soon

Now

when the Devil's in your head

Gonna dance to the Devil Moon
