Nils Lofgren - Man in the Moon Lyrics

Just two loneley kids in school
right before geometry
my friend Jimmy lost his cool
and he pulled a gun on me
him and Wanda used to date
but that was over months ago
though she has been seen with me of late
we're just a couple friends moving slow
now all of this I tried to explain
but Jimmy shook with way to much pain
then he shot himself instead
no one knows yet if he's dead

and I wanna talk to the man in the moon
maybe he has an extra room
this place i hell, wanna cut out soon
I wanna live with the man in the moon

I've seen this kinda thing on tv
but all of them were fat and 43
hey, I'm only 14 years old
what kind of world am I living in
if I could live with the man in the moon
just be a kid from July 'til June

to hell with Wanda
to hell with this
to bury a friend before my first kiss
I want a life with some peace in it soon
get me a rocket to the man in the moon

I wanna live with the man in the moon
