I am fourteen with my sister`s face
On the fake I.D. that you got
Your flashlight on
Shining down on her not me
In that little square
So I talk about this weather
While my sister smiles
Then you hand her back to me saying
`You don`t have brown hair`
Well I was leaving anyway
`Cause your band is out of tune
I`ll just find a better place
Or a wishing star or two
Don`t you look down on me Mr. Moon
Maybe someday I`ll be an angel
Who knows
I just might visit you
When my time here is through
So don`t look down on me Mr. Moon
It`s a cold night for a heart to break
So I`ll just pretend that it`s Independence Day
Find someone to celebrate
I see Jim Beam lying on his side
Says he`d like to fly
And could I help him toward that sign that says
I am not allowed inside
And it`s one for Saturday
And it`s two to say good-bye
Then we made our getaways
Underneath a Midwest sky
Good-bye
And don`t you look down on me Mr. Moon
Maybe someday I`ll be an angel
Who knows
I just might visit you
When my time here is through
So don`t look down on me Mr. Moon
Now I walk past the shadowed church
Where they dream about better days
When we`re all dead and gone
And hear the trumpets blow
Well I hear one playing loud and strong
And you don`t get long to dance in this world
Do you now
So come on sister smile for me
Cause it`s one for Saturday
And it`s two to say good-bye
Then we made our getaways
Underneath a Midwest sky
