Black Moon from 50 Songs by Shane Cooley

Black Moon

I’ve always known my evil ways
I’ve kept them all at bay
But they still crave their taste of glory

And I’ve been stuck out here for days
Down here on Dozen Street
Where every night’s a different story

Under a black moon
Under a black moon

How could you trust my pirate heart
Each century I’ve sailed
Is one that I have failed you darlin

You weren’t supposed to see me like this
You weren’t supposed to see me like this at all
But your eyes adjusted
It’s all fun ‘til you get busted

I’ve always known my evil ways
I’ve kept them all at bay
But they still crave their taste of glory

And I’ve been stuck out here for days
Like some drunk journalist
My mind oblivious to the story

Under a black moon
Under a black moon

I’ve always known my evil ways
I’ve always known my evil ways

Distant memory, darkest night
We’re getting in another fight
I’ve made my lover’s bed
For every tear there is a culprit
