Moon Rocks Lyrics
Flying Saucers
Levitation
Hey! I could do that
Getting ready
For heavy duty
Go on, give it a chance
Give it a chance
Give it a chance
I saw your hair start to curl
So get up
And write it down
You better wait for a while
So take your hands out of your pockets
Get your face adjusted
Heard it, somebody lied
And I'm staring out the window
Gonna let this thing continue
In its natural time
Roundheads
Squareheads
Get settled in
You can hear my belly rumble
There's a voice that starts to mumble
Woo! It's startin' to sing
Protons
Neutrons
I ate a rock from the moon
Got shocked once
Shocked twice
Let's see what it can do
Man in the moon
Moon in the man
I got a rock in my throat
Upside
Upside down
My tummy start to talk
(What it say?)
I'm gonna rock it 'till I shock it
I'm gonna kick it 'till I drop it
Woo! Love at first sight
You can kick it
You can poke it
Ooh! I think you broke it
Woo! What about that
Skin from a snake
Blood from a stone
You know, that ain't no lie
I've got hundreds of expressions
Try to make a good impression
Woo! Right between the eye
I don't mind
Let me go
Sounds inside
I don't know
Let me be
Why not stay
I feel numb
Let me play
I got wild imagination
Talking transubstantiation
Any version will do
I got mass communication
I'm the human cooperation
I ate a rock from the moon
Moon in the rock
Rock in the moon
There's a moon in my food
You may think I'm wasting time
You might laugh but not for long
Hey! Workin' it out
(Work it out)
I don't mind
Let me go
Sounds inside
I don't know
Let me be
Why not stay
I feel numb
Let me play
Levitation
Hey! I could do that

Give it a chance

Gonna let this thing continue
In its natural time

Why not stay
I feel numb

Ah, no comments at all? That's not fair. Well, I'll be honest, I hate how this song starts, but once the tempo picks up the rest is smooth sailing. And the bits about the moon are the best.
From the alblum speaking in tongues. Good just be a bunch of rabbling but I doubt it.
This song is about Molly.
Agree with first comment. Moon rocks seem to be MDMA
Yeah, MDMA is most likely. Possibly edible cannabis. Chris Franz, not DB, wrote the lyrics . . . MDMA wasn't very popular (or illegal) in the US before the mıd-80s, but some hipsters still knew what it was. For this one song, we don't have to look for Byrne's customary depth - any more than you need to analyze the peripheral semiotics of 'Genıus of Love' to explain what Tına means when she sings "We went insane when we took cocaine.". But the rhythm section apparently had broader taste in drugs than Byrne, because moon rocks are definitely not coke.
