Everybody loves him 'cause he's light years from home. The poets and the painters, they can't leave him alone. A lighthouse to romantics, both on land and at sea. A satellite of secrets born of charm and intrigue. He's the man in the moon See how he smiles. The man in the moon Still,sad all the while. One night they came knockin' on his living room door. They used him, bruised him, screwed him hard until they were bored. Now no one really seems to give a damn anymore. Another lunatic loser who's no longer adored. He's the man in the moon My far out friend in the sky The man in the moon Oh, see how he cries. He's the man in the moon Oh, see how he smiles The man in the moon... A supersonic space-age child. The man in the moon... My far out friend in the sky The man in the moon. Oh, look at him cry
