Moonland Lyrics

[Verse 1]
When I came up from out of the meat-locker
The city was gone
The sky was full of lights
The snow provides a silent cover

In moonland
Under the stars
Under the snow

[Verse 2]
And I followed this car
And I followed that car
Through the sand
Through the snow

I turn on the radio
I listen to the DJ


[Chorus]
And it must feel nice (It must feel nice)
It must feel nice to know
That somebody needs you
And everything moves slow

[Verse 3]
Under the stars
Under the ash
Through the sand
And the night drifts in
The snow provides a silent cover
And I'm not your favourite lover
I, I turn on the radio
[Chorus]
And it must feel nice
Well, very very nice to know
That somebody needs you
And the chilly wind blows

[Verse 4]
Under the snow
Under the stars
The whispering DJ
On the radio
The whispering DJ
On the radio
I'm not your favourite lover
I'm not your favourite lover

[Chorus]
And it must feel nice (It must feel nice)
To leave no trace, no trace at all
But somebody needs you
And that somebody is me, babe

[Verse 5]
Under the stars
Under the snow
Your eyes were closed
You were playing with the buttons on your coat
In the back of that car
[Outro]
In moonland
Under the stars
In moonland
And I followed that car

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
