lyrics

And so, you break, like a china cup
Give it up they tell you
You gotta give it up
Always another tree to fall
But no one to hear
Hush my little baby
Hush my dear

You know I bet it don’t rain today
Bet it won’t rain today
Makes no difference who you pay
I bet it won’t rain

Now Jack come tumbling down
As Jill shoots for the heel
She shoots for the heel
Jack come tumbling down
She was his crimson refugee
Not such a simple nursery rhyme
Don’t tell her children what she’s seen

You know I bet it won’t rain today
I bet it don’t rain today
Makes no difference who you pay
I bet it won’t rain

And if I had a sling shot
I’d hand it to you
I’d say, come on babe
Shoot the moon down
Leave these giants in the dark
Let them tear themselves apart
Come on babe shoot the moon down
Cause, they won’t offer you mercy
They won’t offer you gum
I see you’re so tired of chewing
And spitting at that sun
But the rain you’re waiting on
It never comes
It never comes
It never comes
And now your roses have withered
And there’s blood in your eyes
Come on drop that big cheese from the sky
You could shoot the moon down

Hmmm, hmmm,
Gonna shoot the moon, you’re gonna shoot the moon, you’re gonna shoot the moon…
