Marc Almond - Madame de la Luna

===============================



(Almond/McGee)



She's in my veins

Gold in my veins

She is my pain

And my joy

Time and again

Waxing or waning

I am insane

For La Luna

Madame de la Luna



When she is sleepy

She's creepy, mysterious and wicked

When she is full

She is full of promise and joy

Beaming her smile

All the while across Heaven's horizons

Weaving her dreams

Into hearts of lonely boys



Chorus



But when I'm under the moon with you

I'm in Heaven

When I'm under the moon with you

I'm in Heaven



She'll bring out the killer

Bring out the lover

She loves a tyrant, a pirate, a dreamer a crook and a liar

A joker, a trickster, romancer, a dancer and fool

Cold as the frost but in her heart is a fire

Hanging around the dark throat of the night like a jewel



Repeat chorus



Moon, moon, delirious moon

Alone in the blue like a silver baloon

Moon, moon, delirious moon

Dancing a waltz to a lunatic's tune

Madame de la Luna

Bewitching is she

I cannot live without her

She's scattering stars

Dancing with Mars

Cheek to cheek with La Luna

Cheek to cheek with La Luna



Madame de la Luna

She sings as she brings in the harvest

She pulls out her tongue

At the cruel Ethiopian sun

When she's hiding

The dark can bring a terrible vengeance

A pounce in the shadows

A moment alone with a gun



Adrift on a sea of indigo silk

Passionate like an Arabian torch

Enticing two lovers to jump off a bridge

Changing the man into the wolf



Sometimes she's a terrible flirt

Causing mischief and mayhem wherever she can

Sometimes she's a woman that hurts

Sometimes she is a man



Encouraging drunks to sing coarse serenades

Lighting the way for the young renegades



Repeat chorus



She says better times are gonna come soon

Better times are gonna come soon

Trust in the moon

Trust in the moon



La Luna
