Lyrics
LORCA’S LAMENT What is this… What are these silver curtains That open on a theater of night What is this blinding light That comes through my window at night I imagined it as a long trip into the garden of paradise It’s just a crazy train taking me from my bedroom at night But my mamma said it’s just the moon Over the lonely suburbs It’s just the moon… Over the lonely suburbs… What is this giant hole in the garden of the midnight sky Drawing everything down including the stars and making me cry What is this blinding light in a typically dark evening Making me see my family and my life and visions of things I thought I was leaving But my mamma said it’s just the moon Over the lonely suburbs Yes, my mamma said It’s just the moon… Over the lonely suburbs… What is this diamond Shining What is this pearl Divining What is this evil thing that keeps me up all night long What are these wolves howling this infernal song My mamma said – moon! Over the lonely suburbs… What is this beautiful white body Looks like girl I once had known What is this beautiful white body Looks like my father in the grave What is this beautiful white body Looks like me before I was born What is this beautiful white body Right through my dreams like a knife it has torn It’s just the moon, over the lonely suburbs And my mamma said moon…over the lonely suburbs… See how it dances in the house of the dead See how it looks down upon our dread See how it’s so exciting, we’re so bored, We want something, something more It’s just the moon… It’s just the moon…
