lyrics

I want to be a movie teen
Golden hair
Silver screen
With a dance at the end
Try and try again
The blood on my teeth is chocolate to me

Chorus:
Take it easy
You're gonna work till you get old
Much too tired
To realize you're getting sold
The beach is better than any job you can hold
Bring your sweater
The sun is down, it's getting cold

I found my life
Divided it up
Like the tiny states on the basement rug
I lost my soul in an even exchange
For a pair of black eyes and a life on the open road

about

Jesus on the Moon Puyallup, Washington

Jesus on the Moon is a collection of lo-fi songs I've been recording in basements, garages, and bedrooms since 2005. Recently, Derek Reed joined the ranks and, with the help of a drum machine, we've started to bring the songs to the stage.
