Saw a flash outside my room thought it was lightning But it was just the moon. Exploding into dusty waves and watching as the universe dug its lonesome grave. Chorus: There was nothing I could do when the drugs stopped working. So I smoked another cigarette and wrote a letter to you. Were you watching silently when the light went away? At least we have the sun. Did it wake you from your sleep and force you to open up your life in time to live? (Bridge) I can remember sleeping with summer and climbing walls of sleep. Loving her like the end of a storm with pictures of cloudless skies. Chorus: There was nothing I could do when the drugs stopped working. So I smoked another cigarette and wrote an obituary for the moon.
