Moonlight Lyrics
Yawn awake
Familiar surroundings
All hotel rooms are pretty much the same,
Although the room number might change
Catch a glimpse of everything within the lighter's flame
There's always a window and so changes the view
Affording a clue to the answer that's owing
Where we might be and where we might be going
There's no fixed address but the band, white as a suburb,
Catch a reflection it's going knots as we're headed in any direction
So press your head against the window, look outside at emptiness
Tell a joke, or take a piss
Take a picture at every mile
Lock the door and start the engine cause it's gonna be a while
Tell a joke, take a piss
Take a picture at every mile
Start the van, close the door, Quince(?) I think it's gonna be a while
The climates flay themselves, undress themselves at the side of the road
Commute at the union between failure and hope
Weave a highway line, stitch a skirt out on the land
Twist and turn, and tell a story like the palm of your hand
Buckle up and wonder, keep watching the skies
Pucker up and flounder in the blink of an eye
The climates flay themselves, undress themselves at the side of the road
Commute at the union between failure and hope
Turn our weakness into
Turn our blindness into
Turn our questions into answers as obvious
Turn our weakness into might
Turn our blindness into sight
Turn our questions into answers just as obvious
As moonlight in the darkest, darkest night
Familiar surroundings
All hotel rooms are pretty much the same,
Although the room number might change
Catch a glimpse of everything within the lighter's flame
There's always a window and so changes the view
Affording a clue to the answer that's owing
Where we might be and where we might be going
There's no fixed address but the band, white as a suburb,
Catch a reflection it's going knots as we're headed in any direction
So press your head against the window, look outside at emptiness
Tell a joke, or take a piss
Take a picture at every mile
Lock the door and start the engine cause it's gonna be a while
Tell a joke, take a piss
Take a picture at every mile
Start the van, close the door, Quince(?) I think it's gonna be a while
The climates flay themselves, undress themselves at the side of the road
Commute at the union between failure and hope
Weave a highway line, stitch a skirt out on the land
Twist and turn, and tell a story like the palm of your hand
Buckle up and wonder, keep watching the skies
Pucker up and flounder in the blink of an eye
The climates flay themselves, undress themselves at the side of the road
Commute at the union between failure and hope
Turn our weakness into
Turn our blindness into
Turn our questions into answers as obvious
Turn our weakness into might
Turn our blindness into sight
Turn our questions into answers just as obvious
As moonlight in the darkest, darkest night

This is another song written by Arif. It’s about the trials and tribulations of being in a touring band. There are some pretty specific references in it that maybe three people outside of the band will understand. For the most part, I think anyone who is or has been in a touring band can relate to these lyrics because they represent the wonder and the darkness of it all quite well. - Rody
I think "(?) highway line, (?) on the land" is "Weave a highway line, stitch a skirt out of(on?) the land."
I think this is right, I just edited it. Thanks.

To me, it sounds like he's saying "Ponder all and wonder, keep watching the skies. Wander off and ponder, in the blink of an eye."

synthesizernerd is right about that and its "catch a glimps of everything within the line of sight"

Start the van, close the door, Quince I think it's gonna be a while The climates flay themselves, undress themselves at the side of the road Commute at the union between failure and hope We're at the highway line, we just started on the land
That last line I'm not too sure on, although I'm fairly positive it's Quince.
A few corrections, according to the lyric book: "Catch a reflection it's going knots as we're headed in any direction" should be: "Catch your reflections in store windows as we're headed in any direction" "Lock the door and start the engine cause it's gonna be a while" should be "Lock the door and start the engine Quince it's gonna be a while" "Buckle up and wonder, keep watching the skies, Pucker up and flounder in the blink of an eye" should be: "Ponder, awe and wonder, keep watching the skies, Wonder, awe and ponder, in the blink of an eye"
