God S Away On Business lyrics

Grapefruit moon, one star shining, shining down on me.
Heard that tune, and now I`m pining, honey, can`t you see?
Cause every time I hear that melody, well, something breaks inside,
And the grapefruit moon, one star shining, can`t turn back the tide.


Never had no destination, could not get across.
You became my inspiration, oh but what a cost.
Cause every time I hear that melody, well, something breaks inside,
And the grapefruit moon, one star shining, is more than I can hide.


Now I`m smoking cigarettes and I strive for purity,
And I slip just like the stars into obscurity.
Cause every time I hear that melody, well, puts me up a tree,
And the grapefruit moon, one star shining, is all that I can see.
