Kill the Moonlight

Let's drink a toast to the human condition
Three sins of gin and an act of contrition
We place our bets with the best of intentions
Two steps ahead of a group intervention

Hate crime, suicide
The chance of a lifetime
Race wars, homicide
Another lovely day

Kill the moonlight
Strangle the stars
Give me black nights
Kill the moonlight

I wrote the book on exact indecision
I'm bored to tears with a life in the system
I'd wreck this place if I had a good excuse
I'll search my memory for some childhood abuse

Drunk sex, ugly lust
I ground my inner child
False pride, prejudice
Ego running wild
