Man in the Moon
from the album "Horrendous Disc"Words and Music by Jerry Parker Chamberlain©1980 Cancel and Eat (ASCAP)

I saw Mr. Moon last night, you know he's on the rise
There's something in his eyes I've never seen before
There's some kind of magic here, he's so full of surprises
He'll hypnotize like the lull of a lullaby
Carry me home in my dreams, nothing's the way it seems
Give up my world, now it's all too absurd
What has happened to me
Man in the moon, I was shooting for a star much higher
Man in the moon, there's no life nowhere near
I'm dying to get out of here
Lord don't leave me high and dry, let me fly
Oh the moon is a yellow man, eclipsed inside his cage
Concealed from public rage, faith our father
Well I can't smile anymore, oh end this masquerade
Let the nightmare fade, kill the gilded calf
I see someone in my dreams
Who was born to die and rise to redeem
So pay no attention to that man behind the curtain
Will this upstart ever stop
Man in the moon, man in the moon
Man in the moon, I'm the man in the moon
Man in the moon, I'm the man in the moon
Lord, don't leave me here

(bold and italics are of my marking.)

how i can no longer smile, the masquerade has gone of for far too long now...
to who i am...really
*sigh*
how i want to be completely open to those around me,
those who know me and those i trust...
it's easy to give false answers to complete strangers,

but to those i care the most, i still deceive...but not as much.

i am that man-in-the-moon

i hide

and right now i want to change

and be seen

and share with others what

is really going on in my life.
it may seem naive

to open myself up to my friends,

but i think it's time

i told them more about me

and not me in a setting

that is controlled...
if

thou

art my

friend,

let's talk...vis a vis (face to face)
