Moon Palace Lyrics
they'll all be gone tomorrow
pull me a face
and say something witchy
it's time to get out of your bed
others say nothin' at all
give me a slug
from the wonderful jug
it's time to get out of your head
gonna speed through the night
only now you recall
it means nothing at all
you were stuck in a dream
and you wanted to scream
but it's nothing at all
no it's nothin'
said they could kiss you goodbye
you've got no choise
feel like christopher boyce
time to get out of your bed
are all makin' sense tonight
it's hard to think straight
when you're feelin' so great
only wanna get out of your head
gonna speed through the night
only now you recall
it means nothing at all
you were stuck in a dream
and you wanted to scream
but it's nothing at all
no it's nothing at all
gonna speed through the night
but it's nothing at all
no it's nothing at all
Christopher Boyce was an American who sold secrets to the KGB, apparently in protest against the CIA's involvement in the ousting of Australian prime minister Gough Whitlam. See the book and film "The Falcon and the Snowman" for further details. What this has to do with the rest of the song I have no idea, although Dean Wareham's origins in Australia may have something to do with it.
one of my all time favorite songs. It just sums up everything in my life at this point.
Dope.
This song, as well as the entirety of Luna's album "Penthouse," is about coming of age, with one foot in late adolescence and one in the "adult" world. It's a time of big realizations, epiphanies and navigating romantic relationships. The lyrics:
"Well we're travelin' light Gonna speed through the night Only now you recall It means nothing at all"
"It means nothing at all" because all of the things that you thought were important have now fallen to the wayside as realizations and epiphanies start to inform your new adult self.
