lyrics

That wicked old witch with her dirty old hands
tossin' my dreams in her frying pan
stir it up, stir it up, stir it up best you can
that old lady make a meal of my plans

But the silver moon
in the midnight sky
older than forever
but it still can fly
I can see
by that silver light
and I might make it home
tonight

Mean old ghost with a rusty chain
Callin' me the least of names
Talk it up, talk it up, talk it up all day long
Nighttime comes he still ain't gone

But the silver moon
in the midnight sky
Older than forever
but it still can fly
I can see
by that silver light
and I might make it home
tonight

Bible man with a bony fist
Says I ain't on the list
make it up, make it up, make it up, call it truth
I got all I need but proof

Black cat talkin' in the devil's tongue
Used to speak when I was young
Give it up, give it, give it up while you can
No one livin's seen the plan

But the silver moon
in the midnight sky
Can no longer sing
but he still can fly
I can see
by his silver light
that alone will get me home tonight

baby don't shake, don't cry. don't try to run
you know we're underneath the silver moon
forget about all your magic spells
the only magic north of hell
the silver moon
maybe somebody put it there so long ago
so we would know
it's coming soon
