Jefferson Starship – Assassin lyrics
Something must be done about the lone man
Gun concealed to carry out his heart of stone plan
He is eaten up with hate
Got your attention far too late
Could you have stopped him if you'd known beforehand

He seemed like such a nice guy
To his neighbors
Kept to himself and never bothered them with favors
Nobody ever knew him
There was nobody to see through him
He was left alone to plan the death of his betrayers

Who's gonna be the hangman
Who's gonna be the judge
Who's gonna cast the first stone
Who'll settle up this grudge

It's so obvious the man is guilty
Tell me who is capable of showing any pity
Can anybody name the real assassin

No one's gonna take responsibility
How did this man come out of our society
Could our intervention
Have prevented his intention
Well you know he's gonna plead insanity

Who's gonna be the hangman
Who's gonna be the judge
Who's gonna cast the first stone
Who'll settle up this grudge
Who's gonna be the hangman
Who's gonna be the judge
Who's gonna cast the first stone
Who'll settle up this grudge

It's so obvious the man is guilty
Now tell me who is capable showing any pity
Can anybody name the real assassin

"shining in the moonlight" (1984), "nuclear furniture".
3:28 (music: craig chaquico, lyrics: mickey thomas, craig chaquico)

I can feel the heat rising up inside of me
I can still remember how her warm touch made me feel
And thinking of that night
In the light of the moon
The feeling never fades
It ended too soon

Stranded in a broken dream
Holding onto fantasies
Lookin' for the magic there
In her eyes

Shining in the moonlight
Looking for love
Shining in the moonlight
Looking for young love
Shining in the moonlight
But I'm still alone

A victim of that night
For eternity
Drifting like a summer wind
Her memory inside of me

Stranded in a broken dream
Holding onto fantasies
Lookin' for the magic there
Try to find it - in her eyes

Whoaaohh
Shining in the moonlight
Looking for love
Shining in the moonlight
Lookin' for young love
Shining in the moonlight
Shining in the moonlight
Shining in the moonlight
Shining in the moonlight
Shining in the moonlight
