Under the Moon Lyrics

Under The Moon

I'm still here under the moon(2x)

[Violent J]
I was just a child but you seemed like so much more
The way you would approach me and drift across the floor
I'd see you in the hall, and you'd kiss me with a smile
I never understood it, was I even worth your while?
The others kids at school, they would hate me and they'd spit
Cuz I was just a no one, to them I wasn't shit
But you would always help me and stand there by my side
We were only seventeen, we'd be together till we died
But then it all happened on the ever dreadful day
Somebody tried to rape you and now I'll make him pay
You pointed him out to me, my thoughts began to race
I took my daddy's forty-five and shot him in the fucking face!!!
I did it all for you, and though I'm facing years
I would do the time just to equal all your tears
The last thing that you told me when I left the courtroom
Is that we'd always be together, cuz we're both under the moon


[Hook]
I'll forever love you, even if you're doomed
We'll always be together 'cause we're both under the moon
I'll forever love you, even if you're doomed
We'll always be together
[Violent J]
I sit here in my cell and the walls are made of stone
I justified your pain, but now I sit alone
I write another letter, I write one every day
I never got a letter back, I write em anyway
I try to call collect, your number has been changed
I'm staring at the light bulb and I start to feel deranged
You never came to visit me, I sit facing the glass
No one's on the other side, now it's in the past
My head is always spinning, I'm pounding on the wall
I feel like I'm forgotten, no sign of you at all
You're probably getting married, you're probably getting fucked
I'll break out of this cage and try to cut that motherfucker up
I curl up in the corner, my body will corrode
My teeth are turning into dust, skin is growing mold
I'm staring at the window of my eternal doom
I know that you are out there, somewhere underneath the moon

[Hook]
I'll forever love you, even if you're doomed
We'll always be together 'cause we're both under the moon (you told me)
I'll forever love you, even if you're doomed
We'll always be together

[Violent J]
Many, many years, many more to go
Does she still remember? God, he only knows
I now become a savage, they chain me to a wall
I still can see your body, I still can hear your call
I'm nothing but a maggot, I'm locked away and lost
The world, it doesn't want me, my dignity is tossed
And to the girl for whom I feel this doom
Look here, fuck you and the moon
Hey! Fuck you and the moon
Hey! Fuck you and the moon
Hey! Fuck you and the moon
Hey! Fuck you and the moon

I'll forever love you, even if you're doomed
We'll always be together 'cause we're both under the moon (Fuck you and the moon)
I'll forever love you, even if you're doomed (Hey!)
We'll always be together (Fuck you and the moon)
I'll forever love you, even if you're doomed (Hey!)
We'll always be together 'cause we're both under the moon (Fuck you and the moon)
I'll forever love you, even if you're doomed (Oh)
We'll always be together (Fuck you and the moon)

I'll forever love you, even if you're doomed (I'm still here)
We'll always be together 'cause we're both under the moon (under the moon)
I'll forever love you, even if you're doomed (I'm still here)
We'll always be together 'cause we're both under the moon (under the moon)
I'll forever love you, even if you're doomed (I'm still here)
We'll always be together 'cause we're both under the moon (under the moon)

I'm still here under the moon
I'm still here under the moon (still under the moon)
I'm still here under the moon (still under the moon)
I'm still here under the moon (still under the moon)
I'm still here under the moon (still under the moon)

About

Genius Annotation

“Under the Moon” is one of the three tracks that were not included on the original Hollywood Records release of The Great Milenko due to being too explicit, alongside “Boogie Woogie Wu” and “The Neden Game.” It’s one of the more serious songs on the The Great Milenko, an album of mostly humorous tracks. Because of this, Violent J decided to put the song in the middle of the album and at the end of the first side of the cassette release, so fans who don’t like serious songs could easily flip to the tape’s other side and skip the track.

According to a Psychopathic Records newsletter from early 1996, the song was originally recorded for Insane Clown Posse’s 1996 EP Tunnel of Love.

Genius Answer

In a 1997 interview on ICP’s website, Violent J said:

“Under the Moon” is one of them Amy’s in the Attic, or Joke Ya Mind type of songs. It’s all serious and shit. That’s why we put it at the end of side 1 on the new Milenko so all the hard core ninjas can just fast forward and flip the tape. But for the other ninjas who are like me and sometimes dig the serious shit, it’s about this kid and his girlfriend in high school. Somebody tries to rape the girl so the kid shoots him in the face and goes to prison for life. All for his bitch I might add. Anyhow, after a few years the bitch forgets about him and leaves him in jail to rot. It’s a deep, deep song. Deep and wide like your moms neden.
