In my memory's faded view
I remember years ago, her name I barely knew
Years later I saw her in town
Knocking on my window talking loud
She said baby do you need a date
Or just a little foolin' around
Way down where the red light's low
Slinkin' down where the bad seeds grow
Crawlin' where the sun don't show
'Neath the sad moon
Walking the streets, all on display
Standing there and laying in wait
She looks at me and I look away
'Neath the sad moon
I said thanks, no I don't need that
But as she turned her naked back
She turned to go, and I just had to stare at her walking away
Looking out there it might be me
But for the grace of God oh I can see
A grain of sand, a strand of hair
A chromosome or someone's dare
Way down where the red light's low
Slinkin' down where the bad seeds grow
Crawlin' where the sun don't show
'Neath the sad moon
Walking the streets, all on display
Standing there and laying in wait
She looks at me and I look away
'Neath the sad moon
Couldn't help but follow her
Felt so bad but couldn't stop
Curiosity's got me, worth a damn I know I'm not
I put her down but want her too
Ashamed to say I want her a lot
Guess I'll go and move along
Let it go, let it drop
Way down where the red light's low
Slinkin' down where the bad seeds grow
Crawlin' where the sun don't show
'Neath the sad moon
Walking the streets, all on display
Standing there and laying in wait
She looks at me and I look away
'Neath the sad moon
I think maybe I knew her in school In my memory's faded view I remember years ago, her name I barely knew Years later I saw her in town Knocking on my window talking loud She said baby do you need a date Or just a little foolin' around Way down where the red light's low Slinkin' down where the bad seeds grow Crawlin' where the sun don't show 'Neath the sad moon Walking the streets, all on display Standing there and laying in wait She looks at me and I look away 'Neath the sad moon I said thanks, no I don't need that But as she turned her naked back She turned to go, and I just had to stare at her walking away Looking out there it might be me But for the grace of God oh I can see A grain of sand, a strand of hair A chromosome or someone's dare Way down where the red light's low Slinkin' down where the bad seeds grow Crawlin' where the sun don't show 'Neath the sad moon Walking the streets, all on display Standing there and laying in wait She looks at me and I look away 'Neath the sad moon Couldn't help but follow her Felt so bad but couldn't stop Curiosity's got me, worth a damn I know I'm not I put her down but want her too Ashamed to say I want her a lot Guess I'll go and move along Let it go, let it drop Way down where the red light's low Slinkin' down where the bad seeds grow Crawlin' where the sun don't show 'Neath the sad moon Walking the streets, all on display Standing there and laying in wait She looks at me and I look away 'Neath the sad moon Explain Request ×
