Shadows in the Moonlight

Take this pill, my dear

It will keep you sharp and clear

The side effects won't last too long

It's stranger than it seems

In your most peculiar dreams

But it's nothing that won't fade with time

Tuck the northern star in a candy jar

And save it for a rainy day

Shadows in the moonlight

Always coming, always going

While your cup is overflowing

Shadows in the moonlight

Just a matter of perspective

It's all relative, subjective,

It's alive

Stand up straight and tall

Keep your back against the wall

Remember what they said to you

A stranger in a crowd

A halo on a cloud

It's lost to you but it never really went away

The muffled speech is out of reach

But truth has got a way of breaking through

(Chorus)

Take these words my dear,

And as they echo in your ears

It's closer than you think

(Chorus x 2)
