Grapefruit Moon - Tom Waits

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

Something breaks inside

And the grapefruit moon, one star shining

Can’t turn back the tide

Never had no destinations

Could not get across

You became my inspiration

Oh, but what a cost

And every time I hear that melody

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

And every time I hear that melody

Puts me up a tree

And the grapefruit moon, one star shining

Is all that I can see
