lyrics

Pocket Moon

Twist my ear and pinch my thigh
When I speak to you, look me in the eye
Go cut a switch from the bush outside
If I should sleep before I die
You can put my dreams in the pocket
Put them all in the pocket
Put everything inside the pocket moon

God is great but so is mother
Best clear your plate, tuck in baby brother
March upstairs and tell her just how much you love her
The medicine chest is empty, I’m afraid she’s locked the bathroom door
What if she puts them in her pocket
Puts them all in her pocket
Washes everything down inside the pocket moon?

Papa’s baby was a yellow convertible Corvette
Brother and I felt snug as two bugs in the backseat
You pointed to the sky and said, “Look, what is it?”
And there it was, I could see it too
But Papa said, “That’s just a pocket moon”

Here are the pretty lashes I cut off with scissors
Let’s slide down the bannister and watch them watch TV in my mirror
“Stick that butter knife in here,” the wall socket whispers
They can’t see me in the dark waving this sword in the air
But I think I’ll put it in the pocket
Stick it all in the pocket
Soon everything will be safe inside the pocket moon
