Lyrics
Daddy's cooking dinner, mama's dancing with a glass of wine
Daddy's asking mama if she hasn't gone and lost her mind
She's singing loud and out of tune
'Bout some river and a moon
I'm stuffing all the clothes and money into any bag I can find
He's gonna turn the TV up now until the neighbors complain
She's gonna tune out all the noise with a double shot of pills for pain
I should help 'em but I don't
I should miss 'em but I won't
I should feel a little guilty but it's something that I can't explain
Cause there's a full moon eclipsing tonight
And it's dark red where it should be white
Something's hidden from view, I wanna see what's out of sight
Where the full moon should be tonight
Johnny's got it all wrong, he thinks we're gonna last
But Johnny's got a car, and he drives it really fast
Johnny throw it into gear
Johnny get me outta here
I wanna see it disappearing in the mirror, Johnny hit the gas
There's a full moon eclipsing tonight
And it's dark red where it should be white
Something's hidden from view, I wanna see what's out of sight
Where the full moon should be tonight
And there's a cross around my neck and a penny in my shoe
Even bad girls need good luck and for me it's overdue
So I'm wishing hard on all the stars, I'm wishing I was free
But I'm howling at the moon and it's hollow just like me
There's a full moon eclipsing tonight
And it's dark red where it should be white
Something's hidden from view, I wanna see what's out of sight
Where the full moon should be tonight
