Reed McKenzie - Blood Moon (OTW)

I was biting my tongue beneath that blood red moon
Bit the tip clean off when I first saw you
Ya punched me in the mouth, knocked my sweet tooth clean out
You're the most evil person I ever did meet
Ya locked up my feet, in that quick drying concrete
And it's because of you that I can't taste nothing sweet

The sun rose early, he met the moon still in the sky
Saw my battered body, adorned with a dark black eye
He turned to the moon and he asked, what the hell did you do
The moon said, "I'm sorry, but it happened again
See you left him here lonely
He was lookn' for a friend
And that's just when she found him
She laid him down there by the river bend

As the morning rolled on, Miss Moon went to rest
I awoke to meet the dawn, and the sun did his best
To get me back op on my fee
I rose up slow with the steam from the street
Stumbled round in confusion, took an inventory of my scars
I cursed the sun, cause he was block'n all the other stars
And I knew just what would fix me, so I hobbled down to the local bar

I've since learned to forgive you and to set myself free
But I'll never forget you so you better leave me be
Cause if you ever come searching round here again
I'm gonna see you coming
I'm gonna warn all my friends
And then you'll leave here lonely and hungry, like you first left me
Next time that blood moon, comes rolling through this town
I better not see you, you better not come around
Cause now I own this circus and I don't need no more clowns
Now I own this circus and I don't need no more clowns
