Whats Next To The Moon Lyrics
Well I tied my baby to the railroad track
Cannonball down the line
Giving that woman just a one more chance
To give it to me one more time
Engineer wishing he was home in bed
Dreaming about Casey Jones
Wide-eyed woman half a mile ahead
Thinking about broken bones
CHORUS:
It's her love that I want
It's her love that I need
It's her love got to have
It's her love
Heavenly body flying across the sky
Superman was out of town
Come on honey, gotta change your tune
Cause it's a long way down
Clark Kent looking for a free ride
Thinking about Lois Lane
It's a bird, it's a plane, it's - a suicide
And that'd be a shame
CHORUS:
It's her love that I want
It's her love that I need
It's her love got to have
It's her love
But what's next to the moon?
Long Arm looking for a fingerprint
Trying to find the mystery clue
Hitting me with the third degree
Working on a thumb screw
Alright, officer, I confess
Everything's coming back
I didn't mean to hurt that woman of mine
It was a heart attack
CHORUS:
It's her love that I want
It's her love that I need
It's her love got to have
It's her love
What's next to the moon?
Cannonball down the line
Giving that woman just a one more chance
To give it to me one more time
Engineer wishing he was home in bed
Dreaming about Casey Jones
Wide-eyed woman half a mile ahead
Thinking about broken bones
It's her love that I want
It's her love that I need
It's her love got to have
It's her love
Superman was out of town
Come on honey, gotta change your tune
Cause it's a long way down
Clark Kent looking for a free ride
Thinking about Lois Lane
It's a bird, it's a plane, it's - a suicide
And that'd be a shame
It's her love that I want
It's her love that I need
It's her love got to have
It's her love
Trying to find the mystery clue
Hitting me with the third degree
Working on a thumb screw
Alright, officer, I confess
Everything's coming back
I didn't mean to hurt that woman of mine
It was a heart attack
It's her love that I want
It's her love that I need
It's her love got to have
It's her love

I think this is one of AC/DC's creepiest songs, right with Night Prowler...but hey, I LOVE both those songs! I think this is about a girl that didn't satisfy her man sexually so he killed her, and when it says "What's next to the moon"..it's the girl from getting hit by the train. And when he get's busted for it he blames it on a heart attack.
Totally fantastic rock n' roll from AC/DC. My favorite song on their totally overlooked album, Powerage. Powerage is a forgotten classic, and that's a total shame.
I agree, Powerage is one of my favorite albums....no idea what this song means tho, haha
This is AC/DC's best lyrically written song, it rocks. personally I think the narrarotors lover didnt satisfy him and he killed her.
What's next to the moon? I'm thinkin' maybe.... the vajayjay?
Okay, this will require some stretches in logic.
Since most of the early works of AC/DC were written as a team (Angus and Malcolm Young would write the music, and Bon Scott would write the lyrics and–to an extent–the melody), Bon was known for having a double entendre or two within the meaning of his lyrics. So, in this case, ‘moon’ means when a person ‘moons’ someone by showing their butt. In the early days, Angus would perform such an act on-stage numerous times, until he was arrested for doing so. With that said, the question “What’s next to the moon?” is simple: “Uranus” (Your anus). Now, if we couple the main chorus “It’s your love that I want,” with “but what’s next to the moon?” that is what Bon really wants!!
