THE MARQUEE AND THE MOON — текст песни (sloan)

(C. Murphy/Sloan)

Cabaret license
I haven`t been by since
It goes against all that I`ve learned
But it seems that the tables have turned

But could we have stopped it
We all get co-opted
To some kind of system it seems
But they can`t take away
Can`t take away all our dreams

Like the one where I`m in a balloon
Floating above I can see the Marquee and the Moon
The monkey, the dog and Neptune


They`re all in good spirits
I`m happy to hear it
But haven`t the sweetest idea
To me buzz is onomatopoeia

Will something be happening soon
To settle the difference between the Marquee and the Moon
They`re passing the torch, knife and spoon

And so it goes
I guess there are those
Who want to get out like me
Yeah

Their clientele
Can go to Hell
If they want to get in for free
But Hell ain`t a bad place to be
Yeah

Am I any different than either the Moon or Marquee
Oh, not a lot if you ask me

Cabaret license
I`ve been coming by since
The action continued past two
Before this what did we used to do
