Marc Almond - Madame de la Luna lyrics

She's in my veins gold in my veins
She is my pain and my joy
Time and again waxing or waning
I am insane for la luna
Madame de la luna

When she is sleepy
She's creepy, mysterious and wicked
When she is full
She is full of promise and joy
Beaming her smile all the while
Across heaven's horizons weaving her dreams
Into hearts of lonely boys
But when i'm under the moon with you
I'm in heaven
When i'm under the moon with you
I'm in heaven

She'll bring out the killer
Bring out the lover

She loves a tyrant, a pirate, a dreamer
A crook and a liar
A joker, a trickster, romancer
A dancer and fool
Cold as the frost but in her heart is a fire
Hanging around the dark throat of
The night like a jewel

But when i'm under the moon with you
I'm in heaven
When i'm under the moon with you
I'm in heaven

Moon, moon, delirious moon alone in the blue
Like a silver balloon
Moon, moon, delirious moon dancing a waltz
To a lunatic's tune madame de la luna
Bewitching is she i cannot live without her
She's scattering stars dancing with mars
Cheek to cheek with la luna
Cheek to cheek with la luna

Madame de la luna
She sings as she brings in the harvest
She pulls out her tongue
At the cruel ethiopian sun when she's hiding
The dark can bring a terrible vengeance
A pounce in the shadows
A moment alone with a gun

Adrift on a sea of indigo silk
Passionate like an arabian torch
Enticing two lovers to jump off a bridge
Changing the man into the wolf

Sometimes she's a terrible flirt
Causing mischief and mayhem wherever she can
Sometimes she's a woman that hurts
Sometimes she is a man

Encouraging drunks to sing coarse serenades
Lighting the way for the young renegades

But when i'm under the moon with you
I'm in heaven
When i'm under the moon with you
I'm in heaven
She says better times are gonna come soon
Better times are gonna come soon
Trust in the moon trust in the moon

La luna
