I remember a day last June
Counterpoint tunes in the afternoon
Cruising through towns
Like future street clowns
Shamanic routines in our loony platoon
I remember last September
We gazed at the rings around the moon
And you shrugged
But then you hugged me
And our life felt like a sunday cartoon
Now we are the moondogs
Just a trick of the light
A refraction in the troposphere
Fading gently with the end of the night
And we argued while we were laughing
Whether that was a halo or a corona
And you shrugged
But then you hugged me
And got on your plane to Barcelona
Now you're just a moondog
A paraselene
If the supply ship collapses,
Get the module to land
That's the lesson to learn from Apollo 13
We are the moondogs
Just a trick of the light
Even Belka and Strelka
Made it back in the end
Walk with me gently into this dark night
We're dancing in the midnight sky, my fairest of the fair.
We dance beside the crescent moon and stars are in our hair
We are the moondogs
We are the moondogs
We are the moondogs
We are the moondogs
