Tyrants of the Mellow Moon Lyrics


So we go for one more ride
And that’s okay ’cause I did my time
But now I wait for another chance
When I will take everything I can

I can’t wait
Oh, I can’t wait
And I can’t wait
Oh, but I can’t wait

Here we are for the final time
And I hope you say that I made you laugh
Oh, I tried to make things right
Though it’s hard, maybe I can for just one night
Though I never say the same thing twice
I will sign one more time

I can’t wait
And I can’t wait
And I can’t wait
Am I too late?

That’s all I got, I let this song play out
But at the end, must let all songs die
So we watch for the mellow moon
But nobody cared as much as you

Tyrants of the mellow moon
How long do stolen riches last
My darling I have killed for you

People in shadows
People with the ego to
Share their weird ideas with you
People that are brave
I will shame you
Burning in the flames of grey-haired guilt
Black bird, red eyes
Flying home
