lyrics
Somewhere on the eastern curve of your ball
I’m told there’s a casino at sea
where numbers are dealt in the tidal roulette
by a host from a far galaxy
oh Moon, Chevalier Lune,
expatriate grey in the sky…
oh Moon, seduced and perfumed,
have you campsites for Junegirls,
for Junegirls in flight?
Oh mocker of maidens, you steely-eyed squire
when you tire of your orbital view
I will throw you the shadow of a love-sick tycoon
who taught me not to gamble on you
He promised me either a cosmic bouquet
or some Andalusian range
I wanted only to peel your circumference
but the blade that I saved is sharper today
oh Moon, Chevalier Lune
oh Moon, Chevalier Lune
you were nothing to me
but a white hemisphere
I offered you only my breath in your ear
you were nothing to me
but a white hemisphere in the night
I’m told there’s a casino at sea
where numbers are dealt in the tidal roulette
by a host from a far galaxy
oh Moon, Chevalier Lune,
expatriate grey in the sky…
oh Moon, seduced and perfumed,
have you campsites for Junegirls,
for Junegirls in flight?
Oh mocker of maidens, you steely-eyed squire
when you tire of your orbital view
I will throw you the shadow of a love-sick tycoon
who taught me not to gamble on you
He promised me either a cosmic bouquet
or some Andalusian range
I wanted only to peel your circumference
but the blade that I saved is sharper today
oh Moon, Chevalier Lune
oh Moon, Chevalier Lune
you were nothing to me
but a white hemisphere
I offered you only my breath in your ear
you were nothing to me
but a white hemisphere in the night
