Aztec Moon Lyrics

I hear in the Aztec night birds flying overhead Flying far away & leaving me alone Alone in the Aztec night Disowned in the Aztec night. My destination is unclear Each day I ride around I read magazines & books However, never buy I thing From the big store Aztec moon I will climb every mountain Every one before me placed & I will climb up to the stars For to the stars I'm not disgraced Aztec moon I'm going to catch a train To take me far away Far away where I will live alone But never be alone Aztec moon I will climb every mountain Every one before me placed & I will climb up to the stars For to the stars I'm not disgraced Aztec moon

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Cover art for Aztec Moon lyrics by Devils, The

Stephen Duffy: 'It's quite astounding now but I thought you could take great chunks of The Great Gatsby and sing it. The lyrics to Aztec Moon are from Mexico City Blues by Jack Kerouac. All I'd done at that stage was listen to records and read books. I had no idea about writing from your own experience. I bought my bass from a junk shop on Saltley Gate, I was so embarrassed I didn't play it and it's only when I got it home that I realised it was fretless.
