Next to the Moon Lyrics
Well I tied my baby to the railroad track
Cannonball down the line
Givin' that woman just one more chance
To give it to me one more time
Engineer wishin' he was home in bed
Dreamin' 'bout Casey Jones
Wide eyed woman half a mile ahead
Thinkin' 'bout broken bones
It's your love that I want, it's your love that I need
It's your love gotta have, it's your love
Heavenly body flyin' across the sky
And Superman was outta town
Come on honey gotta change your tune
Cause it's a long way down
Clark Kent lookin' for a free ride
Thinkin' about Lois Lane
It's a bird, it's a plane, it's suicide
And that'd be a shame
It's your love that I want, it's your love that I need
It's your love gotta have, it's your love
But what's next to the moon
Long arm lookin' for a finger print
Tryin' to find a mystery clue
Hittin' me with the third degree
Working on a thumb screw
All right officer I confess
Everything's coming back
I didn't mean to hurt that woman of mine
It was a heart attack
It's your love that I want, it's your love that I need
It's your love gotta have, it's your love garanteed
Your love that I want, it's your love that I need
It's your love gotta have, it's your love
What's next to the moon
gonna win in sin city
Cannonball down the line
Givin' that woman just one more chance
To give it to me one more time
Engineer wishin' he was home in bed
Dreamin' 'bout Casey Jones
Wide eyed woman half a mile ahead
Thinkin' 'bout broken bones
It's your love that I want, it's your love that I need
It's your love gotta have, it's your love
Heavenly body flyin' across the sky
And Superman was outta town
Come on honey gotta change your tune
Cause it's a long way down
Clark Kent lookin' for a free ride
Thinkin' about Lois Lane
It's a bird, it's a plane, it's suicide
And that'd be a shame
It's your love that I want, it's your love that I need
It's your love gotta have, it's your love
But what's next to the moon
Long arm lookin' for a finger print
Tryin' to find a mystery clue
Hittin' me with the third degree
Working on a thumb screw
All right officer I confess
Everything's coming back
I didn't mean to hurt that woman of mine
It was a heart attack
It's your love that I want, it's your love that I need
It's your love gotta have, it's your love garanteed
Your love that I want, it's your love that I need
It's your love gotta have, it's your love
What's next to the moon
gonna win in sin city

Great drums in intro
but what does it mean?
I would have to guess from the whole thing. An obsession with a girl, and going to extensive lengths to either win her back or keep her, including a somewhat over the line plot, (crazy for her perhaps?). Then lines like "the long arm (law) looking for a finger print", etc. "It was a heart attack", or a 'broken heart".
